Totally off-topic: does anyone find it ironic that the successor to Swing
was taken out of the JDK while Swing itself survives?  Makes me feel rather
good about never having jumped on the JavaFX bandwagon.  We currently have
a cross-platform desktop app in beta and the GUI is written in Swing -
packaging the app with jpackage became a whole lot easier after we decide
to remove the one JavaFX component we did use (the chart library) and
replaced it with JFreeChart.

sorry for the off-topic musing.
