Swizzbeat Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm looking at a lot of tutorials and learning to make GUI's. Right now everything I'm learning is from swing, but is JavaFX better? Are the both used but for different things? I don't want to waste my time learning how to build using swing if FX is going to take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGates Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 It seems to be better imo, but I personally don't like the idea of the switch unless they leave Swing as well for scripters to use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swing is not going to be removed - it's a part of the JRE (therefore it is not up to the bot developers on whether it remains or not), and can safely run synchronously with JavaFX.... When OSBot 2 is released, you will be free to continue to use swing - but it sure will look ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celeos Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 I prefer JavaFX over Swing. JavaFX has a more rich design and elegance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developer Maxi Posted September 30, 2013 Developer Share Posted September 30, 2013 JavaFX will still have to proof it will be the next standard for GUI design but I definitely believe this will be the case. It has quick development and release cycles and they are working out the downsides at a fast pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csDeveloper Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 JavaFX is easier, swing isn't thread safe, but who cares? I use swing, since I learned it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
