Let compare two code that uses Java Swing and JavaFx.
I just want to show the ease of use. So, let's get codes
that that display a button. Am using netbeans 5.5
Here is the swing code.
package javaswingapp;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.*;
/**
*
* @author Musa
*/
public class Main extends JFrame{
JFrame frame;
JButton btn;
/** Creates a new instance of Main */
public Main() {
}
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public void buildUi(){
frame = new JFrame();
btn = new JButton("Press Me");
frame.getContentPane().add(btn);
// btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
// public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
// btn.setText("Am Pressed");
// }
// });
frame.setTitle("Swing Demo");
frame.setSize(400,500);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
Main m = new Main();
m.buildUi();
}
}
JavaFX Code
import javafx.ui.*;
Frame{
title: "Press Me"
width: 200
content:Button {
text:"Press me"
}
visible: true
};
Notice how declarative it is. Under the hood, it is still a swing appearance

The problem I have with JavaFX is the size of what people have to download before they can use your application. This is not an issue with software packaged on a CD or DVD or corporate software, but it's a problem for web-based software.

Hey, long time. Been out of the forum for a while now.
Actually, most of the JavaFx example online uses the
Java Network Launch Protocol. That means you have to
run them with javaws tool available with the jdk.
To run, just use
javaws -offline <your-jnlp-file-name>. You can use just
type the command without any option to display other available options.
Also, you can click the java Web start icon in your control
panel for the GUI version.
For deployment, you often deploy the application as a jar
file. Well, I think, it JavaFx is going to be a thing for the future.
Thanks
