As far as I understand it is possible to create the visual components of an Eclipse plugin with JavaFX instead of SWT. But, is this a good idea ?
Is Eclipse eventually going to move to JavaFX in the future and deprecate SWT ?.
As far as I understand user interfaces developed by SWT have a native look and feel and this is not always the case in JavaFX. If this is correct, does it mean that a pluging developed with a JavaFX interface could look weird ?
thanks for the feedback,
Sergio

No, SWT won't be deprecated. There is this new project so you can use
e4 with JavaFX as the rendering engine:

It's not just native look and feel, it's really using the native widgets.

They aren't native widgets so that might be noticed.
