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.

JavaFX links of the week as posted on jfx-central.com
On the JavaFX mailinglist this thrilling message appeared: "Create release notes for JavaFX 19." And yes, they are available now on GitHub! If you want to keep following what’s happening inside the JavaFX community, you can suscribe to it via mail.openjdk.org/mailman/listinfo/openjfx-dev. As with previous releases, the JavaFX community once again succeeded in keeping the 6-months release cycle going on, with a long list of improvements and fixes!

JavaFX for free software development
Checking this out: the big new thing in Java 9 was modules. These are implemented using module-info.java source files that contain the module definitions.The oldest source code for JavaFX that I have been able to find is version 11 here and it contains multiple module-info.java files. Clearly it expects Version 9 module support.

Drop down menus in Java Applications do not work (DWM, Arch Linux)
Unrelated but https://github.com/javafxports/openjdk-jfx/issues/217 shows that you can pass in the GTK version to use by passing e.g. -Djdk.gtk.version=2 to java.

Developer preview for JavaFX inside a web browser
Nothing against the developers but JavaFx development definitely hasn't set their priorities right. It seems to be all about gamey stuff which makes nice blog posts, but I'd bet that 95% of deployment is in the business app sector. And UI elements there aren't well supported. Let's talk about the very core of every business app, the TableView which in comparison to JTable shows catastrophic performance problems, and tickets filed against ist live forever.
