In particular, it's no secret I think JavaFX is a dead-end. I'm not sure I foresee a time when either project moves UI to JavaFX - maybe I'm wrong. I have been pondering this as well, but I think that is for old projects like both IntelliJ and NB, but views in them, sounds very reasonable to me. It may be possible over time if we focus on a base platform set of changes while supporting Swing too, but not sure it would be worth changing the IDE itself over. In the meantime, while we're both using a UI toolkit that is semi-deprecated, maybe there is useful collaboration to be done around Swing? Yes; agree! I have also mentioned this in the NB community. I think we need to contribute to Swing at OpenJDK. It seems more logical than not to me. Thanks Wade
