what xml are you editing?
I think swing doesn't use xml by default
My bad i stated it wrong, im looking for api whixh would let me use xml to build it
Does it need to be XML?
Well it would make the code much cleaner
I think with Swing, most people use tools like Eclipse WindowBuilder which is a GUI builder for editing code
with JavaFX, there's FXML/Scene Builder but I don't know of anything like that in Swing
Im using intellij so no way to switching to eclipse
there are also other tools (I think) but I don't know them, I just used WindowBuilder as an example (and it can also be used as a standalone application together with IntelliJ I think)
btw, i could switch to javafx only if it has some sort of LAF like swing has, any idea on that?
what do you mean with "some sort of look and feel like swing has"?
You can use custom files with JavaFX
well i dont really want to setup custom theming myself, with swing i can just you smth like flatlaf
I mean, there are some themes for JavaFX out there
