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.
