  • javafx-gradle-plugin

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

  • JavaFX has the equivalent of a DOM tree, and is much easier to learn. If you've accessed HTML with JavaScript, some of that knowledge will be transferable. Swing has more than a few weird and arbitrary complications. On the downside, JavaFX is an external library, not part of core Java, so it really helps to have something like Maven to assist with building a project. There's good documentation for JavaFX at openjfx.io, which also has the scene builder you are looking for.

  • InfluxDB
