But AWT and SWing are also dead. JavaFX is the new thing.
This week I look up a freelancer project site in Germany:
12 Swing projects, 1 JavaFX project.
It is not that long time since Java 8 came out.
But eventually JavaFX will replace Swing.
JavaFX can deliver effects. But can it be used to build
business user interfaces? Where are business form layouts
that are not pixel-based but logic-based?
????
JavaFX does layout similar to Swing: BorderPane, GridPane etc..
It is just usually declarative not code based.
How are style
guidelines supported accross different layouts? Where is a
theme that looks /and feels/ like Windows on Windows, so
that Windows users do not have to learn a totally new mode
of UI operation?
L&F does not change UI operation just look and feel.
But it is correct that JavaFX does not ship with a native theme.
You will need to find something third party. I believe such exist
for Metro aka Modern UI aka Windows Store App UI.
Yesterday they killed JavaFX Script. What parts of JavaFX
will they kill tomorrow?
JavaFX has changed status since JavaFX script was killed.
Not that likely that major functionality will be removed after
becoming part of Java itself.
