Hi, With the announcement of JavaFX 2.0 beta, there seems to be a meme doing the rounds that Swing is now deprecated. This is mentioned here http://weblogs.java.net/blog/opinali/archive/2011/05/28/javafx-20-beta-first-impressions (JavaSE as we know it is deprecated) and in turn, is quoted here: http://www.javaworld.com/community/?q=node/7733.
I'm a boring old business (Swing) desktop application developer and had assumed that Swing would continue to receive at least incremental enhancements for the forseeable future. Furthermore, having looked at JavaFX, it didn't seem like it was ready to replace Swing yet (most notably, no JTable replacement). My question is, can anyone point to any Oracle comunications about whether Swing is to be considered deprecated? Secondly, any of the JavaFX demo apps I've looked at have involved simple graphical effects, no data intensive applications. If JavaFX really is to be used for business apps, I think something like an email client in terms of complexity would be great to see. Are there any such demos that anyone can recommend?
