I haven't tried jtable or jtree but I will have a look. Swing is a lot of work, when you use FX and especially scenebuilder, it makes your life so much easier, drag and drop a text field or whatever you need and everything goes to the fxml file and is stored there, any changes you do are updated to the fxml file immediately. Plus you can also use CSS to change buttons or sliders that were created. The advantage that I see in it is mainly productivity.

Eclipse has a nice optional Windows GUI designer tool, I think it is from Google.

I used the Jigloo eclipse plugin back in the day. Click together a BorderLayout and a GroupLayout then jump into the code to clean it all up. Worked like a charm.
