I used to develop my application in Swing. But recently I have begun to use JavaFx.
In Swing JTabPane we have this:
]
In JavaFx TabPane we have this:
We can see the selected Tab bigger than the other
But in JavaFx, we don't have this effect.
Question: How can I obtain the same Swing Tab style in JavaFx ?
Problem solve.
We can use CSS to make this style (Background-color, padding, :selected...)
Sorry I'm a beginner in JavaFx.

Iam making a level editor for libgdx.but I want to use the java swing buttons. how can I put the libgdx display inside a JFrame
LibGDX really isn't meant to work with swing components, but LibGDX does provide its own button classes like ImageButton or TextButton that you can use for the same purpose. It does take a little bit more work to set them up because you need to provide the background image and font that the button uses.
See the accepted answer here for how to setup text buttons:

Anyone has an idea if rendering VTK is already somehow possible in JavaFX?
I managed that in Swing using vtkRenderWindowPanel which can then be added to JPanel. But I still could not find a binding for JavaFX.
The option of displaying the VTK in Swing and then adding the Swing component in JavaFx using SwingNode also doesn't work for me (a green screen is displayed, nothing is rendered).
Any ideas and suggestions are very appreciated!!!
I am creating a java swing application and I am badly need to get the flat GUI look like in windows 8 to my swing application. But I couldn't find it yet. Can you help me?
You can PROBABLY use the default look and feel of swing apps, undecorate everything, and for those icons; I would use buttons with internal panels, images, labels, etc. To get the scroll functionality you should use mouse listeners to detect scrolling and slide the ui accordingly.
I am designing a eclipse plugin, where i use Components of Swing and JavaFx. In this I can apply CSS on JavaFX. But i could not apply CSS for Swing components. I was forced to use Swing component for some features of the plugin. So i would like to apply CSS for Swing components too. Is there any api that supports CSS on Swing component?
//This code applies css for javafx components
SwingJavaFxSample.class.getResource("samples.css").toExternalForm();
Please help me in applying css for Swing components too.
You can not use the JavaFX CSS support on Swing controls so to me the question makes no sense. Let me also say that using 3 UI-Technologies together is not really a good idea you'll run into many threading issues (SWT & FX share the same event thread whereas Swing is on another one), ... .
What is the reason you still need Swing? JavaFX can be embedded directly into SWT.
I have a traditional Java swing application (extends JFrame and has a main class) that uses JFreeCharts for some charting functionality. I have recently seen JavaFX and think these charts look alot refresher and will give my users a better experience. I wish to embed a JavaFX chart scene into a jInternalFrame (which in turn is called from my jDesktopPane).
I have followed a simple tutorial on how to create both a javafx application and a javafx chart but I am stuck on to how I get the scene inside my existing code. One example I have been through shows me how to achieve this but means converting my project to a javafx one which extends "application" class.
How can I achieve what I want? Is it not possible to keep my existing JFrame as the top level class and simply add a JFXPanel to my jinternalframe.
Any help would be great, please note I have been through some tutorials and they require me to convert my project to javafx - I simply want a javafx scene in my existing swing app.
Many thanks,
You don't need to convert your Swing application to a JavaFX application. You can place a JavaFX Chart in a JFXPanel which may be placed in a Swing component. The javadoc I linked includes sample code for embedding a JavaFX node in a Swing application.
Review the official JavaFX for Swing Developers tutorial trail from Oracle.
Also look at the Embedding JavaFX in Swing sample of SwingInterop for embedding a chart in a Swing application. The sample is provided by Oracle under the BSD open source license so that you can use it in your application.
Despite all this, my advice, unless it is a large, existing Swing code base that you just want to use a couple of JavaFX features in, is to write your application as a pure JavaFX application rather than a mixed Swing/JavaFX application.
