Swing removed from JDK?

"The JSR-296 (Swing Application Framework) is no longer being developed and will not become part of the official Java Development Kit, as originally planned. You can still use the Swing Application Framework library as it is, but further development is not expected."

So ... what to do? Does the new API replace it?

The Swing application framework was a project to create application frameworks on top of the GUI widget library. IIRC. It had the same functionality as http://swinglabs.org/ . Future versions of Java were supposed to ship with it.

This is not the same as the GUI widget widget library, which already comes with Java.

More information on the difference between the application infrastructure and the GUI widget library can be found in this interview with the JSR tutorial .

You can try BSAF ( http://kenai.com/projects/bsaf/pages/Home ) as a replacement for the Swing Application Framework. Stable version released. We are now working on API enhancements for version 2.0. And we really need more participants. Anyone interested?
