Yes. Not even there. (Docs is for docs - but I look for a simple
 tutorial - not for over 1000 pages with details "how cast shadows
 in 4D animations". I want learn fx in ONE WEEKEND - a form with
 widgets, how to draw line, circle, write text or make xy plots.
 And - most important - how to setup tools and project.

There are many resources... but about 50% outdated and 50% useless.

2 person in about a week. Really a big number!

Swing is easy. But more important is that I can separate Swing
 calls in subclasses. I can replace Swing subclasses with SWT
 subclasses or AWT subclasses - because program architecture
 depends on an abstract toolkit. JavaFx seems to be rather a
 framework than a toolkit. It force the program architecture like
 MFC and OWL do. Actually it may be hard to apply more
 sophisticate concepts - because fx is about nice and colourful
 but Delphi-like apps. You must create stage, scene, window - you
 have no choice. I can start Swing GUI on demand, close GUI,
 reopen with SWT or as TUI - without any problems.

I doubt. The Java for desktop apps is passe. Mostly due to Oracle
 decisions. The Swing is old, Fx is oversophisticated and too
 complicated. There is no real good choice.
