Nobody has (in this thread, at least).
OTOH, it occured to me when the OP first asked
the question, that if this is a choice of Java based
'GUI toolkits' then perhaps it should be a decision
between Swing and ..HTML.
After all, more than 19 out of 20 'GUI' based Java
jobs are calling for experience with JSP, AJAX,
JSF, servlets..
But to come back to something mentioned by
others.. Does it really matter? It is better to
treat it as a learning experience and stress to
the students that this is one GUI toolkit available
in one language (and they will need to learn
more languages, and a slew of GUI toolkits,
throughout their career..)
BTW - actually working with Swing? For money?!?
You seem like a rarity, these days..
