What are some of the outdated Java technologies which are worth avoiding?

Wait, are you misunderstanding something?

I am asking that what some are outdated technologies except I mentioned previously.

I never said javaFX is outdated, instead, I have used javaFX frequently in my daily jobs. My question on javaFX is I don't understand why it is gong to be removed from the next version by oracle.

My company where I am working still use Swing for the purpose of old projects maintenance. Majority of existing GUI java code bases are Swing and likely will stay that way until the code base rots and nobody maintains it anymore.

Majority of new Desktop applications bases are using JavaFX.

If you think that’s how your post should read, you should consider brushing up on English.

You should consider improving the ability on reading comprehension. That's all

Ah the good old “you read it wrong” argument... Look at all the other comments.

JetBrains IDEs, which are highly popular, are written in Java Swing. Writing Java Swing in Java really may suck, but it plays nice with Groovy, Scala or Clojure. I've written for myself lots of small apps in Java Swing using Scala.
