i am using JavaFx2.Can any one give me the samples of integrating the swing components in JavaFX.I am searching for this from 2 days but i didn't get the correct solution.Some one is telling it is not possible in JavaFX2 and some one is telling it is simple.I am totally getting confuse.If it is possible can you share me the links or any samples.
Thank You.
i am using JavaFx2.Can any one give me the samples of integrating the
swing components in JavaFX
this not possible for current JavaFX 2.x, this intergration (vice versa Swing and JavaFx) is in development, testing and will be possible in Java8 with JavaFX8
all important (new, roadmap, rellase candinates) is on FX Experience

I'm trying to create an Inventory project and have graphs on it. I'd like the graph to be created thru JavaFX and call it on a Java main class. Is it possible to add a JavaFX class to a Java project?
I'm using netbeans btw.
JavaFX for Java 7 is different from JavaFX on Java 8. My advice would be to go for Java 8. Then maybe NetBeans 8 too. JavaFX and swing/awt have different event threads, though under java 8 there seems to be a better integration.
JavaFX and java swing are two separate worlds. One might embed JavaFX in swing. Though if you are at the start of a basically new project, then you might go for pure JavaFX.
JavaFX uses "properties", wrapped values that can have change listeners on them / data binding. This separation from components makes dealing with the Model-View-Controller paradigm a bit nicer / different. JavaFX components themselves are a slightly more difficult, as swing provides a full API full of setters. It can be hard to make a column right-aligned for the first time. Another thing that makes JavaFX harder, is the use of callbacks with generic types, lambda expressions. Giving the correct signature not always is straight-forward.
So embedding JavaFX in swing might be a good approach if there is much swing experience or existing code: see
Embediing Swing in JavaFX (the other way around) and
How to Use JavaFX in Your Swing Application
If you mean, you have a NetBeans 7 Richt Client Application, then on the NetBeans.org there several small articles on JavaFX integration.
I tried to create a new Swing GUI desktop application template using NetBean 7.0 and just found NetBean has a disclaimer:
"Note that JSR-296 (Swing Application Framework) is no longer developed and will not become part of the official Java Development Kit as was originally planned. You can still use the Swing Application Framework library as it is, but no further development is expected."
So does it mean swing will stay the same from now on and nothing new will be added? What will that impact the applications using Swing? Do I need to consider other GUI frameworks instead? What would be the best framework option for a scientific plotting and graphic heavy application?
Thanks.
Swing is part of JAVA since 1.2 and it is part of the JAVA STANDARD. It is not going anywhere any time soon.
The JSR-296 (Swing Application Framework) was a framework to simplify and help developing in swing, which didnt go very far. Netbeans uses it internally. If using JAVA 7 then, like many other netbeans specific libraries, you need to ship it separately with you app, because it is not standard.
So, feel free to develop in swing. A pure swing app WILL WORK on any JAVA STANDARD on almost any platform for a long time to come. If you use the SAF, thats also OK, but that is not standard and its pretty much dead, so just remember to ship the jar with your app.
Hope that clarifies the situation.
I have developed a java program as a part of my homework and have to build "really good" GUI for it as is the demand.
I would like to know if I can develop a flash based gui and then run my java code behind it since I have learnt flash before ??
Since I have some time constraint I don't think I would be able to implement full dragabble features using swing and java applets.
Please do suggest the best way I should complete my GUI in period of 2-3 days.
Thanks a lot....
The "standard" way to do this is to create a Swing GUI which can be very basic or quite complex, and no, don't try to do this with flash as it will be difficult if not impossible to mesh this with your current Java code. If you already know some Swing coding, this can be do-able within 2-3 days.
You can find the Swing tutorials here: Swing Tutorials
I downloaded Net Beans IDE and created a new desktop aplication. I choose it to be Swing app. The IDE displayed that the Swing framework is out of date and will not be supported in the future.
Does this mean that Swing is out of date? And if so what are the most recent frameworks that can be used to develop desktop applications?
thanks
In NetBeans the Desktop Application project type is a project based on an external library that was supposed to be the Swing Application Framework (which does things like session state of GUI controls and resource bundle management) but never matured. So that project type is outdated.
However Swing itself (the GUI platform) is `current' in the sense that it is the foremost GUI toolkit that Java has and will continue to have for some time.
The Swing Application Framework (JSR296) was a project intended to extract the common elements for developing applications with Swing. It is safe to use but is no longer being developed. The official page https://appframework.dev.java.net/ suggests a couple of alternatives, including using the netbeans platform itself and, given how greatly netbeans has matured, I would be keen to investigate this approach.
Swing itself is fine, it'll be around as long as Java is. Though in saying that desktop Java has never really taken hold in the same way other flavours have.
AFAIK Swing is definitelly not out of date and will be even enhanced in JDK7
Maybe you should show us screenshot, it might be misunderstanding
I think something wrong with your netbeans. Can you show some screenshot?
The future of swing
Does anybody know of any real-world web applications based on JavaFX? I'm an experienced Java programmer considering starting a website while I'm not at my day job. I don't have a lot of expertise on the UI side, so I'm looking for the best way to leverage my existing skills to create something that can provide an awesome RIA experience. Only trouble is, I don't know of any sites that are implemented using JavaFX, since it's so new. I'd like to see what it's capable of.
Found here quite an interesting stories. Top two listed below.

I think the best example of what JavaFX can do is in the examples on JavaFX.com.
However, it's still early in the JavaFX days thus you will be in pioneer days. Which means there are potential rich rewards to be had, but also - many unknowns.
What I think JavaFX "sweet-spots" are:
1 - If you either have Photoshop skills or are collaborating with someone who is - JavaFX provides the only real platform that lets you take Photoshop and generate a UI. Normally you mock-up in Photoshop and try your best to replicate, JavaFX can leverage it natively.
2 - You get all of the goodies from Java libraries "for free".
3 - Can leverage the UI skills to mobile (those that JavaFX will run on anyway).
However, if you are just wanting to have a Java GUI but would rather wait for more polish on JavaFX - I would recommend grabbing MigLayout & go with Swing on Java 6u10 or later.
There are a few JavaFX apps from the JavaFX Coding Challenge; my personal favorite is Music Explorer FX.
The new version of Indaba Music's software was written in JavaFX; the old version was in Flash.
In my personal opinion I would not use JavaFX for web. Simply because HTML5 is crushing everyone in sight. Now, I totally recomend the use of JavaFX for desktop applications.
