title: Is it possible to make a visually appealing GUI with JavaFX & Swing?
body: <p>I would like to do a visually appealing / user-friendly GUI in java. Swing is a limited in terms of "skin" customization. I'm thinking about JavaFX, but I don't get it yet, </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>what can I achieve with this technology ?</li>
  <li>how hard is it ?</li>
  <li>do you have examples of real-life examples of Swing/JavaFX integration ?</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I would like to do something in this spirit of this, which is built on the .NET framework:
