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've just migrated from Netbeans to Idea and got some problems with gui form designer. Is it possible to move and set appropriate component position by mouse? I've tried, but failed to set custom position on the form. As I understand, Idea form design is based on layouts, so position of components changes only from source code.
You have to work with layouts. There's no such thing as 'Design layout' in IntelliJ Idea. However, it helps to design nicer GUIs :)
I have written a RCP platform (swing components) that displays a bar Graph drawn in processing. When I manually resize the frame, flickering occurs. I would like to find out how to keep this from happening.
Processing and Swing don’t mix well. Have a look at the discussions on the Processing Forum.
I am trying to learn Java Swing with the aid of the Netbeans IDE. Following this tutorial, I find myself stuck when I try adding a Panel to a JFrame.
The Panel, or any other component from the Swing Container, does not add to my design view.
I have tried dragging and right-clicking the component without success.
When I right-click the Panel component, I get various menu options including "paste item" but it is greyed out and inactive.
Just click on the palette "Swing Containers" Panel button. In 7.2 and 7.2.1 it is a toggle switch. Then go to your JPanel and you will see your new JPanel moving along with your cursor. Move it to the location you want to have it and click again. Then you can resize it to the dimensions you like...
Netbeans IDE is an excellent production tool. If you are in the learning phase however, it is always better to avoid using powerful GUI-editors, in order to gain a better understanding of the concepts. You can do that using simple text editors.

I would like to implement a list of interactive buttons using Swing. It is something similar as on the picture (from NetBeans UI designer):
You can drag and drop the items to a canvas, or single click on the item and then single click on the canvas. However, I don't know which swing components I should use. Are that JList or JButtons or something different?
There is a tutorial avalaible on how to achieve such functionality. It is utilizing the NetBeans Palette API, which makes you dependent on NetBeans as Framework, not IDE.
Depending on the goal, you might want to look into developing for the NetBeans Platform.
