Hi Roger, I am so sorry I started a response to your thread below but it remained in peace in my drafts folder. I think its timely to resurrect this thread.
I only have superficial understanding of Swing Vs JavaFX vs Pivot. But we are all for dogfooding indeed Airavata builds on atleast a dozen of other fellow projects. Can we create a GSoC project and mentor a student to do this evaluation and converge on any solution? Will there be any volunteers from Pivot to mentor such a project?
