Doesn't integrate???  With what exactly?  JavaFX is just another Java API, is 
now included as part of the JDK (as of 7 Update 6), interoperates seamlessly 
with Swing, works with all standard Java SE packages, works well with other 
JVM-based languages and has some very, very impressive features. If you want to 
develop new GUI apps with Java then JavaFX is a "no brainer" as they say in the 
states.

Swing will hang around for a long time yet but is not being actively developed 
by Oracle anymore and good luck trying to get any bugs in it fixed.  They are 
pouring an enormous amount of resources into JavaFX and rightly so - it's great 
technology.

IMHO you'd be nuts to start a new project with Swing instead of FX.
