Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.
jdeploy
- How do users open the application?
- How do you usually deploy Java Swing application in Windows machine, so that it can pass Microsoft Defender SmartScreen checking?
-
How do you package your Swing app?

How do I finish a JavaFX project?
You could try jdeploy as well.

Conveyor + AtlantaFX theme sampler case study
Why would someone use conveyor over https://www.jdeploy.com/

What does everyone use for GUI work?
Agree. For quite a while it was hard to deploy JavaFX applications but jpackage exists now. There are also tools out there which do everything for you :https://www.jdeploy.com/https://conveyor.hydraulic.dev/1.0/

New tool for packaging JVM apps, an alternative to jpackage
How does it compare to jdeploy?
- Any ideas to convert my jar file / eclipse project to exe?
- JavaFX Browser (JavaSE local build) not loading

Is Clojure the only language you need?
So you can see, there are really a lot of choices but none of them dominates, which means they all have flaws. You can read a good article from Niki Tonsky where Clojure UI problems are discussed. Also to address the problems Niki Tonsky started the development of a new UI for Clojure, called Humble UI. So now we have one more option :)

So you're using a weird language
If you don't mind being stuck on Windows you could use Visual C# or Visual Basic, they have edit-and-continue too. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/edit... I've worked with the SuperTux C# level editor in the past. C# was actually pretty nice for GUI stuff.
There doesn't seem to be a good GUI framework for Clojure. There was Seesaw but it hasn't been updated since 2019. There is a guy developing a new framework https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI/ but it's WIP. I guess you could sidestep this by making it a webapp and using figwheel.

Ask HN: Does Java need a modern Java UI toolkit for desktop/web?
Nikita Prokopov is developing Humble UI which is worth keeping a close eye on. (Yes, it's Clojure, but Java interop is bound to emerge if it builds up a critical mass and catches on.)

The Decline and Fall of Java on the Desktop Part 1 (1999-2005)
I've made a few desktop apps in https://github.com/cljfx/cljfx (e.g., https://www.chronos-desk.com/), and cljfx (JavaFX + Clojure) is amazing and makes for rapid development, not to mention fun. I'm keeping an eye on https://github.com/HumbleUI/HumbleUI, which promises to be a step up.
