JavaFX is far superior to Swing because of all the experience* the 
developers of Swing gained. In particular, JavaFX has built in 
properties where Swing had many attempts at "beans-binding" that never 
completely worked.

You will want to get SceneBuilder to edit fxml files and start with a 
JavaFX FXML application.

Java 8 included FX support but after that you have to download a 
separate jar and also contend with the "new features**" of Maven or Gradle.
