Everything you say is correct Arne but several Oracle representatives have 
either blogged or tweeted or been involved in forum discussions where it has 
been made abundantly clear that no further development on Swing will occur 
and there is significant doubt as to whether any bugs will be addressed 
either.

People can still learn about Swing in the tutorial because it is everywhere 
and will be in use in production systems for many years to come.  My point 
is that Swing/AWT/applets are not something that I would recommend as the 
choice for *new* development.  There has been no official deprecation in a 
"Java API" sense but all of Oracle's investment in Java UI technologies is 
in regard to JavaFX.
