Thanks very much, I ordered it. I can see some studying in my future. -- Knute Johnson email s/nospam/knute2010/

It's not quite that simple. The Swing/JavaFX integration classes were removed in a recent JDK release (1.6.0_18???) and the JavaFX license prohibits you from distributing JavaFX JARs in anything other than a JavaFX context. Oracle is *forcing* us to use JavaFX if we want anything fancy in our GUIs such as media. Swing has not been touched in over 18 months and JavaFX no longer uses Java2D for its rendering engine so development of that has stopped as well. There will be no new Swing classes in Java 7 except perhaps for a JXLayer based class. Oracle has EOL'ed Swing and Java2D in favour of a purely JavaFX focused future. -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour(a)gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]

Doesn't distributing the JavaFX JARs establish a "JavaFX context"? That's like saying you're only allowed to distribute the Java rt.jar for programs intended to run on a JVM. > Oracle is *forcing* us to use JavaFX if we want anything fancy in our > GUIs such as media. Swing has not been touched in over 18 months and Maybe because they didn't need to be touched? That's not necessarily a bad thing. > JavaFX no longer uses Java2D for its rendering engine so development of > that has stopped as well.

And if Swing is EOL, why is there <http://download.java.net/jdk7/docs/api/javax/swing/package-summary.html> ? > Java2D in favour of a purely JavaFX focused future. Evidence? <http://javafx.com/faq/#5.1> contradicts your claims: "5.1 Is JavaFX replacing Swing as Java's client UI library? "No. ... JavaFX applications that are designed for desktop environments can take advantage of the powerful Swing widget toolkit to build RIA that are optimized for the desktop."

The JavaFX license does seem to preclude using the Jar files in say an embedded device like a phone or set-top TV. It also appears that you'll have to have an end user download JavaFX separately so they can agree to Oracle's license, though I'm actually not certain about that. Probably, you'd have to have an end-user download Java SE separately too. |
