JavaOne 2026 Session

Summary

The Swing UI toolkit, along with its under-pinning by Java 2D graphics and AWT desktop integration, is still a core part of the JDK. All these and more that make up the JDK client libraries are actively updated, enhanced, and maintained for use on the latest native desktop environments. And they integrate seamlessly with JavaFX, going beyond what can be achieved using a web client.

This session will discuss how you should use Swing when deploying desktop applications and present some of the newer enhancements in progress.
