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?

Thanks,
Phil
