Hello,
I've been developing in JSP using the Struts Framework for about 3 months now. I use Netbeans IDE 7, and it's been fun! However, I am looking to start developing some Java Desktop applications. Netbeans tells me that the "Swing Application Framework" is basically outdated and no longer used.
My question is what replaced the Swing Application Framework? Which flavor of Java should I approach? It seems like there are a dozen different flavors of Java out there. Java Fx, Java EE, Java SE, etc, etc.
Is there a certain one I would be better off using? I just don't want to waste my time using the Swing Application Framework when it's history! I do like the Netbeans program, I just don't know if it's what I need to do desktop application development.
Regards,
Tim
