Swing is still your only real choice, as far as I know.  JavaFX is up can 
coming, but to quote Gertrude Stein, "there is no there there."

JavaFX appears to only be about half baked;  you can do some things with it, 
but not everything Swing can do.  It's not really a mature platform yet.  Still 
worth knowing about for a Java developer, as Oracle could make it ready just 
about any time now.
