Question

I am currently working on a small desktop Java application which will track various data such as employee hours, job-site investment, and a few other things. So far I’ve been able to knock out most of the stuff under the hood (serializing data, etc) but I’ve hit a roadblock when it comes to the front-end.

I’ve tried using swing: by hand, with eclipse/windowbuilder pro, and with netbeans, all with little success. Is there another platform better suited to such a simple application? Maybe JavaFX? Or should I just roll up my sleeves and dive into swing?

Thanks

For a small application I’d suggest you to roll up your sleeves and dive into Swing. At least you can study a lot. When you have questions come to SO, clear ’em and move forward.
