Hello all,
I wasn't sure whether to post here or in the Swing area...but here it is my question:
Is Griffon a good choice in 2015?
I would like to build a desktop application, possibly using
Java in both front-end and back-end.
Groovy is not a problem (I used it in the past and I loved it :-)). It makes the code concise and connecting to DBs is super easy...
I would like to exclude Swing/JavaFx as they are: I would rather have an MVC framework that facilitates (and reinforces) separation of concerns.
At the moment I am evaluating Grails vs Griffon.
Grails 3 seems cool as it is based on Spring Boot, although I am not sure whether GSP is the right choice for a desktop UI where I expect to have a bunch of Tables resembling Excel.
Griffon seems nice as it simplifies the Swing part, but I struggle to find decent (and recent!) documentation.
In your experience, and preferring java only technologies (that is no JavaScript), would you recommend in 2015 Griffon or Grails? Or should I stick with JavaFx (that I don't like that much...most likely because I don't know that much).
Any thought?
Thanks!
