I am planning on making a Java Swing application and was wondering if Swing is still used or if it has been replaced with something else.
Thanks in advance!
We still use it. Not everything is a web app, so far there have been some tentative replacements (such as SWT, which eclipse is written in)
SWT has a native layer that wraps the underlying calls to the native windowing layer. It only works for a limited set of platforms and of course requires some third party shared libraries. I would venture to say that there are far fewer SWT apps than Swing apps.
