Swing will be supported for many many years. Considering that AWT is
still supported, then I would say probably 20 years or more.

It may not make sense to rewrite an existing Swing app to JavaFX.

But I find it very hard to see why a new GUI app should be written
in Swing - for that JavaFX is the obvious choice.
