Hi dev,
I would like to close this issue [1].
IMO the only two possible way are:
1) Swing;
2) JavaFX.
I found several debate about the topic "JavaFX vs Swing" and the
better answer on it are [2] [3].
In summary:
*) Java 6 will not run JavaFX 2 out of the box.
*) From OpenJDK website: The project intends to file a JSR in the Java
SE 9 timeframe and hopes to eventually be part of the JDK proper.
*) JavaFX 2 offers good integration with Java Webstart
So, I would have liked to use JavaFX but I think that the right choice
is to use Swing.
Any other suggestion?
Hi Max,
generally speaking, I must agree with you: JavaFX 2 could be nice, but
is not the ideal solution either for not being natively supported by
Java 6 and possibly for other weird license issues that can come out
from Oracle.
Why don't you give a chance to IzPack [4]? It seems to be widely used,
and has a good license (AL 2.0).
Regards.
