I am about to build a UI in Java and I am trying to determine what I should use. I definitely don’t want to use vanilla swing.
The one caveat is that it has to be added inside of an existing swing application. I am looking at JavaFX and Groovy Swing Builder. For the former it looks like there is fairly poor support for embedding into swing.
Anyone have another other suggestions?
The groovy guys are working on Griffon: http://groovy.codehaus.org/Griffon.
I believe it is supposed to model a console type GUI like a web UI.
Another possible answer is JavaFX. Here’s a link to their hello world app:
