JavaFX new fixes will continue to be supported on Java SE 8 through March 2022 and removed from Java SE 11. 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.

It is build on top of the AWT API and entirely written in java. It is platform independent unlike AWT and has lightweight components. It becomes easier to build applications since we already have GUI components like button, checkbox etc.
