Is gui development in java relevant?

Question

Java

I may have looked at a little information, but most of the requirements in vacancies on hh are working with the web. Are gui applications already considered so obsolete for use, development?

Answer 1

Obsolescence has nothing to do with it. If the demand for cucumbers this year is greater than for tomatoes, this does not mean that tomatoes are obsolete. There are many scenarios where web applications cannot replace desktop applications. The reverse is also true.

Answer 2

in fact, yes, the time for classic applications is running out ... although in the enterprise you can find a job where you will cut java swing or whatever else there is ... many many more years ... until you become an analogue of a cobol programmer

Answer 3

If you are considering vacancies within the Russian Federation or the CIS, then you are really right, everything is sad. JXT is used by some.
On the other hand, if you look at the Oracle roadmap, then JavaFX support has been extended until 2025.

Oracle has extended JavaFX support with Oracle Java SE 8 from March 2022 through at least March 2025. Oracle completed the re-architecture and transition of JavaFX to OpenJFX as a stand-alone module as of Java SE 11. Oracle is also reaffirming its commitment to continue co-leading and collaborating at the OpenJFX project.
