Is it OK to use AWT with JavaFx?

问题

I need some functionality that I cannot find currently in JavaFX. Like the Robot or the Tray Icon.

I know these tools do work with JavaFx applications. But is it ok to use them? Are there any considerations that I should care of?

回答1:

Generally it's not advised.

N.B.:

• using any AWT from JavaFX will start whole AWT stack which can increase memory/proc consumption.
• there could be threading conflicts between Glass (FX UI stack) and AWT, especially on Mac. So it maybe worth using Swing Interoperability approach for your app as JFXPanel is aware how to handle that conflicts.

• you can use Glass robot instead of AWT one (although it's not public API and may be changed in future):

  Robot robot = com.sun.glass.ui.Application.GetApplication().createRobot();
  robot.mouseMove(10, 30);
  robot.mousePress(1);
