Not saying that SWT is dying, but it doesn't seem to be growing. In what I've seen, it is similar to Swing: a legacy framework which works really well but isn't the focus of much new attention. JavaFX is really where all the new work is going, both from Oracle and from third party developers with plugins. For example, here are the best-of-class proprietary calendar widgets: Swing: http://migcalendar.com/ (solid, but no updates in over 3 years) JavaFX: http://www.calendarfx.com/ (actively developed) And for example, here is an open source control set: http://fxexperience.com/controlsfx/features/ On 12/01/2016 12:41am, Michael Gentry wrote: > Last time I glanced at JFX, Oracle required you to build some of the > developer tools (at least Scene Builder) yourself instead of supplying > packages you could download/use. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/javafxscenebuilder-info-2157684.html Ari -- --------------------------> Aristedes Maniatis GPG fingerprint CBFB 84B4 738D 4E87 5E5C 5EFA EF6A 7D2E 3E49 102A
