OT: Netbeans ported to JFX?

[Chris Newland]

Apologies for the self-promotion but I've built a pretty complex open
source project using JavaFX and found it to be a very usable technology.

Light years ahead of Swing and more powerful than SWT; much easier layout
(VBox/HBox), builder pattern, styling (CSS etc.) and deployment (part of
JRE).

The project is a HotSpot LogCompilation analyser called JITWatch (an
AdoptOpenJDK project) and it uses a range of JavaFX controls and features
(TreeViews, SplitPanes, Canvas, etc.)

There are some screenshots at the end of the wiki at
https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/jitwatch/wiki

I wouldn't go back to SWT now I'm up to speed with JavaFX and would
definitely use it commercially.

Cheers,

Chris
