So SAF (JSR-296) was withdrawn. Deprecated. And no longer supported in Netbeans 8.x
IDE.
I have a few SAF applications that are going to require porting to a modern application framework. What are my options? Do I even need a Framework at all? Or is that a necessary part of any program with an interactive GUI?
If I do a job search I see
Java a lot. I see JavaFX almost never. NetBeans (platform) is pretty small too. Likewise RCP.
Are these really the only choices for Java applications now days?
What are they teaching in the schools now days?
What are professional developers using to write code for day to day applications?
