I'm interested in your opionion concerning JavaFX 2+ and it's role in the future concerning the creation of desktop applications.

Imagine to start a new customer's project that requires a desktop GUI component.

  • Would you recommend using JavaFX for a GUI component?
  • Do you still prefer to use swing?
  • What are the pros and cons?
  • Are there known barriers?
  • If you even started a customer's project using JavaFX, would you do it again?

Personally, I believe in JavaFX and the ability to create GUIs for a great user experience.

I'm looking forward for a good and interesting exchange of opionions.

I'm currently asking myself the same thing. Some months ago. I have built a small specialised dictionary application using Swing, JPA 2.0 (eclipselink) and SQLite. I just started to port this to JavaFX2. I am very curious how it will turn out, and it might answer some of the same questions you ask (though still in a specific context of course).

If you like, I can keep you updated about the progress.
