For good reason.

And >95% of Java GUI's are web GUI's.

So that is something Lew share with a lot of people here.

Actually, poster "charlesbos73" is mistaken. I have worked on Swing for
multiple architectures, i.e., *IX and Windows. As for that being client-side,
part of that work involved a Swing client for EJBs on the back end.

As for working on server code involving an "OO DB", he's mistaken twice over.
I worked on so-called "OO DB"s back when they were known by their proper
name as "network-model" database systems. I've also done quite a bit of ORM
(object-to-relational mapping) work, using "OO" with a "DB", actually a far
more powerful paradigm.

I have evaluated "OO DB"s, and like other respondents in this forum I've found
that they do nothing to enhance the object orientation of the Java code, and
I've also assessed that they do diminish the power of the data layer.
