Java on the Desktop
summary
JavaFX remains a practical desktop choice: OpenJFX on GitHub is actively developed, Gluon compiles JavaFX to native mobile apps, and JPro renders to SVG to run the same JavaFX code in browsers. Real deployments include Volkswagen car media displays, NASA’s Deep Space Trajectory Explorer, and Airbus 3D wing analysis, and a live dashboard demo shows desktop, browser and phone UIs synced. Known limitations are weak third‑party controls and TableView, heavyweight resource use, and limited native GPU/DirectX access.
