Don't believe in that rumor! Have you seen anywhere in which Oracle declares that it is replacing Swing by JavaFX and JSF?
Ranganathan Kaliyur Mannar wrote:JavaFX is not yet tightly integrated with Java. Suppose, you develop a Swing application and distribute it, users just need the JRE for the app to run. However, in case of a JavaFX application, users need to install an extra JavaFX plugin for the application to run - note that this is true even for desktop applications.
Last heard, Oracle is planning tight integration of JavaFX with Java from version 8 onwards
Java SE 7 Update 6 provides the merging of JavaFX into the Oracle Java SE installation. JavaFX was a stand-alone product, and is now fully integrated in this release. On Windows, JavaFX and Java Access Bridge are now installed as part of the JRE or JDK. This provides convenience for end users and system administrators, who don't need to install and maintain JavaFX separately. Application developers can also be assured that from now on, JavaFX runtime libraries will be present on millions of desktops by default.
JavaFX 2.2.4 is now bundled with the JDK on Windows, Mac and Linux x86/x64.
