What are the alternatives to Java Swing?

I was going through some educational videos and found this interesting:
These are the alternatives to Java Swing - 1998. Sun/Oracle, part of SE.

  • AWT 1996 , Sun Oracle, part of SE
  • SWT 2001 - IBM, now open source ( Eclipse foundation )
  • QT Jambi 2006 Troltech, Nokia
  • Pivot WTK 2010, Open Source ( Apache Foundation )
  • Java Fx (2.x) 2011. Sun/Oracle, part of SE - rolled with Java 7 update 6
    • version 2,3,4,5,6,7 were skipped and Java FX 8 was release with Java 8.
Following are the Look and Feels a.k.a L&F's that come with Java Swing
  • Metal
  • Nimbus
  • CDE/Motif
  • Windows
  • Mac
  • GTK+ - Unix where GTK is installed.
Metal, Number and CDE can run cross platform.
