What options are there for making GUIs and other visual programs using java?
So I'd recommend using a third party UI manager like this one.

New PC Client UI available for testing - should be glitch-free (fingers crossed)
About 3 or 4 weeks ago, with the help of you folks who submitted screen shots and machine specs, I was able to track down the source of the weird visual glitches many people were seeing. The root cause was a third-party library that I was using for look-and-feel theming called DarkLAF.
-
After months of searching, I have finally found the root cause of the visual glitches / rendering artifacts in the Windows client. There's good news, bad news, and don't-know-yet-news.
The good news: Through trial-and-error I was able to narrow the problem down to my "Look and Feel Manager", which is the third-party DarkLAF UI manager.

JavaFX 19 Released
So this makes me wonder: how common is desktop app development with Java these days? I imagine there is still a lot done for internal app, but is it still viable to ship Java apps to end users? How you handle JRE distribution in that case?
Anyway also wanna shout out Dear ImGui[0]. I've been using it recently to build an interactive UI to quite complicated networking code. So far it been great for manual testing and demos, and it's fairly low maintenance once running.

If you aren't off-put by the Blender/Unity UI style, there's also ImGUI a possibility as it has some java bindings available.

GUI in LWJGL
If you want a library that has an active community and a lot of examples try out imgui (java port: https://github.com/SpaiR/imgui-java). It is a C based language but seems like the port are pretty close to the original api so you can follow not only the java docs but the c/c++ ones as well. There are a few game engines that utilizes imgui in the editor because it is lightweight, easy to extend, theme and use.
