Don't pick a framework or even a language until you know at least in some detail what your 
system will do.

Based on what?

That is an insane answer.

If it's a Web application then Swing could be the wrong choice.

MySQL is likely the wrong choice.

Would you use Swing to calculate the interest on a credit card? (Trick question.)

Navnath - pay no attention to anyone who recommends a particular package or 
software framework at this stage. It's not even clear that Java is the right choice.

There should be no use of 'float' in financial calculations. I have heard people
defend the use of 'double' for certain use cases, but I am dubious of that 
reasoning. I would avoid 'double'.

Obviously this doesn't apply to screen coordinates in your Swing classes. 

Of which there may be none.

"Banking software" is a large topic and a huge universe of functionality, most of 
which is out of reach of the typical one-person shop. What is your intent? What 
scope? Who's the audience for your product?
