This chapter describes how to add JavaFX content into a Swing application and how to use threads correctly when both Swing and JavaFX content operate within a single application. JavaFX SDK provides the JFXPanel class, which is located in the javafx.embed.swing package and enables you to embed JavaFX content into Swing applications.
This tutorial provides an overview of JavaFX benefits available to GUI developers, illustrates the JavaFX–Swing interoperability, shows how to enrich an existing Swing application by taking advantage of JavaFX functionality, and how to implement a typical Swing application in JavaFX.
Module javafx.swing Defines APIs for the JavaFX / Swing interop support included with the JavaFX UI toolkit, including SwingNode (for embedding Swing inside a JavaFX application) and JFXPanel (for embedding JavaFX inside a Swing application).
In this chapter, you consider a Swing application and learn how to implement it in JavaFX. For the purpose of this chapter, get familiar with the Converter application shown in Figure 6-1. This application converts distance measurements between metric and U.S. units.
JavaFX has introduced several improvements over Swing, such as, possibility to markup UIs with FXML, and theming with CSS. It has great potential to write a modular, clean & maintainable code. What would be faster to build from scratch
I read that JavaFX was meant to replace Swing, but instead got dropped from JDKs, while Swing is still kept. In another place, I read that Swing has more components than JavaFX. Also, some people seem to "like" Swing more than JavaFX.
In this “vs” article we’ll be comparing the older framework Swing, with the newer Java flagship framework, JavaFX. Our goal is to decide which GUI library a Java programmer should be learning in this age and time.
What are Java AWT, Swing, and JavaFX? These are all toolkits used to build Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for Java applications. AWT (Abstract Window Toolkit) is the original toolkit, Swing is a more powerful extension, and JavaFX is the modern replacement.
The following are some of the basic classes: Swing -> JavaFx. JFrame -> Application & Stage (if you extend JFrame in your main class, Application.launch () can be used to launch one that extends Application). Stage is explicitly JavaFx and necessary for creating a Window.
In short, Swing and JavaFX are both GUI toolkits for Java programs. Swing is the old standard toolkit that features a bigger library of GUI elements and mature IDE support. JavaFX is the newer standard with a smaller library, more consistent updates, and consistent MVC support.
