Re: Is the NetBeans Platform the best choice for a JavaFX only desktop application?

What do you wish to accomplish by avoiding Swing?  The biggest part of
JavaFX is the use of Observables/Properties.  If you put Swing on
steroids by using properties, observables, bindings, etc. together
with the Platform features it's a combination difficult to beat.  I've
used JavaFX on the Platform to supplement Swing with tables and charts
-- very attractive.  The nice thing is that both Swing and JavaFX are
Java -- in every installed Java environment so mixing and matching for
the best result is facilitated.  And there are things I use every day
in Swing that are not available in JavaFX; and due to it's CSS
limitations may never be available in JavaFX (i.e. a titled border).
