  • javafx-gradle-plugin

    Gradle plugin that makes it easy to work with JavaFX 11+ (by openjfx)

    • Documentation for JavaFX has definitely always been an issue. However, they did very recently make some improvements in this area: https://fxdocs.github.io/docs/html5/ (this is linked from the Documentation section on https://openjfx.io, of course the Documentation section isn't directly linkable which is awful)

  • FlatLaf

    FlatLaf - Swing Look and Feel (with Darcula/IntelliJ themes support)

    • Why would you want to create a custom look? What happened to the idea that apps should have standard looks so that they are easy to use? Anyway, if you want to have a custom look, there are a lot of open-source Swing look and feels, many of which are themeable. FlatLaf seems to be especially popular: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
