I heard that apparently Swing is being developed no longer. I like Swing and use it all the time.
What should I now be using instead?

JavaFX was intended to replace Swing as the standard GUI library for Java SE, but it has been dropped from new Standard Editions while Swing and AWT remain included, supposedly because JavaFX's marketshare has been "eroded by the rise of 'mobile first' and 'web first applications." With the release of JDK 11 in 2018, ...
Swing and AWT will continue to be supported on Java SE 8 through at least March 2025, and on Java SE 11 (18.9 LTS) through at least September 2026.
Absolutely yes. Legacy swing applications are still supported and enhanced.
From a Java developer perspective, both technologies are highly useful in writing pluggable UI components. With its vast UI component library, Swing can provide added advantage to the developer, whereas when it comes to design modern and rich internet application, JavaFX can supersede Swing.
I never heard such thing and still developing swing apps. Don't give wings to rumors. But as an alternative you can use JavaFx or swt or buoy.
