JavaFX on Swing, Swing in JavaFX
Filed under: javafx swing on Monday Jul 06, 2009
To a large degree JavaFX is designed with a new generation
of developers in mind, those with a little more art than science in
their backgrounds. More into shifting shapes on screen than polymorphism
in code. And they may well be wearing skinny
jeans for the first time,
unlike the Janitor who
was pioneering
them in the 1980s.But for Swing developers who have art and science in equal measure, JavaFX is a great companion to add to the portfolio.
Original team member Amy Fowler blogged recently about how to use JavaFX to make over an existing Swing application.
And with the latest release of the JFXtras, a handy suite of goodies for JavaFX development, comes the new JavaFX wrapper for Swing components, as you can read all about here.
