JavaFX: TextField Input Validation
You could also use or replicate the design of ControlfFX's validation: https://github.com/controlsfx/controlsfx/tree/master/controlsfx/src/main/java/org/controlsfx/validation

Table View and List View
Sounds like MasterDetailPane from the ControlsFX library might be useful.

Is FontAweSomeFx still maintained?
It looks like it's not anymore. A possible replacement you could look into is controlsfx. It has a Glyph class https://github.com/controlsfx/controlsfx/blob/jfx-13/controlsfx/src/main/java/org/controlsfx/glyphfont/Glyph.java which could be a starting point. Have not used it myself yet. Also still using FontAwesomeFX

Is anybody using Scala for Desktop Development?
Then there is the ControlFX library with more advanced widgets, a lot of work done on it in 2019 and 2020: https://github.com/controlsfx/controlsfx/wiki/ControlsFX-Features

JavaFX links of the week for March 18th-24th 2023
Important message in the release notes: "JavaFX 20 is compiled with --release 17 and thus requires JDK 17 or later in order to run. If you attempt to run with an older JDK, the Java launcher will exit with an error message indicating that the javafx.base module cannot be read."

Is this UI doable with only Java Swing?

Compile javafx jar
JavaFX 17 requires at JDK 11 or later (release notes), so the short answer is that you can't do this.

WebFX - A JavaFX to JavaScript application transpiler. Write your WebApp in JavaFX and WebFX will transpile it in pure JS.
JavaFX has been open-sourced after Oracle dropped it, and it's still in active development (they just released version 19 a month ago, see https://openjfx.io and https://github.com/openjdk/jfx). Also Gluon (https://gluonhq.com) made the toolchain to compile it into native apps for Linux, macOS, Windows, Android & iOS. So with now WebFX compiling it to the web, you get a fully cross-platform UI toolkit that lets you target all major platforms (Desktops, Web, Tablets & Mobiles) from a single Java code base. That's why I think it is interesting, especially for Java developers.
What are some alternatives?
