The swing-UI of Java-programs doesn't work perfectly together with the awesome-wm. awesome is a window-manager for UNIX, that automatically resizes program-windows, and the Swing-UI doesn't recognize these resizes correctly. I don't care if awesome or Java is guilty, what I wanna know if I can change my Java-programs in a way, that they will work with awesome. So that users of my programs get the correct experience, even when they use exotic window-managers.

In short, Swing and JavaFX are both GUI toolkits for Java programs. Swing is the old standard toolkit that features a bigger library of GUI elements and mature IDE support. JavaFX is the newer standard with a smaller library, more consistent updates, and consistent MVC support.
Swing in Java is a lightweight GUI toolkit which has a wide variety of widgets for building optimized window based applications. It is a part of the JFC( Java Foundation Classes). It is build on top of the AWT API and entirely written in java. It is platform independent unlike AWT and has lightweight components.
Easiest workaround - get wmname from suckless and use it to set the name of the window manager to LG3D:
wmname LG3D
98% of the time this will fix the issue.
