JavaFX is a software platform for creating and delivering desktop applications, as well as rich web applications that can run across a wide variety of devices. JavaFX has support for desktop computers and web browsers [citation needed] on Microsoft Windows, Linux (including Raspberry Pi), and macOS, as well as mobile devices running iOS and Android, through Gluon Mobile.
The Swing classes and components are contained in the javax.swing package hierarchy. Development of Swing's successor, JavaFX, started in 2005, and it was officially introduced two years later at JavaOne 2007. [6] JavaFX was open-sourced in 2011 and, in 2012, it became part of the Oracle JDK download.
When drawing in Swing, use JPanel and override paintComponent(Graphics g) instead of using the AWT paint() methods. Before Java 6 Update 12 , mixing Swing components and basic AWT widgets often resulted in undesired side effects, with AWT widgets appearing on top of the Swing widgets regardless of their defined z-order .
The "Java Foundation Classes" were later renamed "Swing", adding the capability for a pluggable look and feel of the widgets. This allowed Swing programs to maintain a platform-independent code base, but mimic the look of a native application. The release of JFC made IFC obsolete, and dropped interest for Microsoft's AFC.
JavaFX Script was a scripting language designed by Sun Microsystems, forming part of the JavaFX family of technologies on the Java Platform.. JavaFX targeted the Rich Internet Application domain (competing with Adobe Flex and Microsoft Silverlight), specializing in rapid development of visually rich applications for the desktop and mobile markets.
FXML is an XML-based user interface markup language created by Oracle Corporation for defining the user interface of a JavaFX application. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] FXML presents an alternative to designing user interfaces using procedural code, and allows for abstracting program design from program logic.
With JavaFX becoming part of the Java SE platform there has been interest in developing a backend for SWT that relies on JavaFX in a similar way to SWTSwing relies on Swing. A prominent project trying to achieve that was SWT on JavaFX which became part of e(fx)clipse in 2014. [24]
Lightweight User Interface Toolkit (LWUIT) is a Widget toolkit developed by Sun Microsystems to enable easier Java ME user interface development for existing devices, including not only traditional Java ME environments like mobile phones, but also TVs and set top boxes with features like swing and recently javafx.
