How to add javafx content to a swing application?


Asked by Sincere Fitzpatrick on Dec 06, 2021 SWING



This chapter describes how to add JavaFX content into a Swing application and how to use threads correctly when both Swing and JavaFX content operate within a single application. JavaFX SDK provides the JFXPanel class, which is located in the javafx.embed.swing package and enables you to embed JavaFX content into Swing applications.
Indeed,
Adding JavaFX Content to a Swing Component For the purpose of this chapter, you create a JFrame component, add a JFXPanel object to it, and set the graphical scene of the JFXPanel component that contains JavaFX content. As in any Swing application, you create the graphical user interface (GUI) on an event dispatch thread (EDT).
In this manner, Yes, you have read it right. Swing doesn’t provide components to embed HTML and I have seen lot of people asking how can we add html content in Swing applications. Your concerns have been addressed by the latest release of JavaFX which is JavaFX 2.0.
Additionally,
Using JavaFX Ant tasks, you only need to set an attribute that the application's primary UI toolkit is Swing.
Just so,
It is intended to replace Swing as the standard GUI library for Java. All the UI components in JavaFx can be styled using CSS. You can use FXML, an xml based language to create the user interface of your application. JavaFX’s Scene Builder tool allows you to design user interfaces without needing to write any code.
