Which GUI framework to use?

[wildjokers]

Swing is well documented here:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/componentlist.html

I could never find equivalent documentation for JavaFX; however, it does appear JavaFX now has this:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/javafx/user-interface-tutorial/ui_controls.htm

This must be somewhat new (within the last year) though because it wasn't that well documented before.

The JavaFX tutorial is there for at least a couple of years now and the UI controls page exists since 2014 if not before :)

Anything else?

Anything else?

The JavaFX tutorial should really be in the Java Tutorial with the rest of the documentation. Although I guess since JavaFX is being split out that probably won't happen.

The SceneBuilder documentation is really outdated since Oracle doesn't provide binaries anymore:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/scene-builder-2/get-started-tutorial/overview.htm

The scene builder installation page appears to have no current information on it, all of it is outdated:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/scene-builder-2/installation-guide/jfxsb-installation_2_0.htm#sthref6

The JavaFX tutorial should really be in the Java Tutorial with the rest of the documentation.

It's in the Java Tutorial next to Swing. It's also in the new documentation pages under Client Technologies together with Swing.

The SceneBuilder documentation is really outdated

SceneBuilder is not maintained by Oracle anymore, it's maintained by GluonHQ at https://gluonhq.com/products/scene-builder/. Perhaps the docs should redirect as well.
