Java Swing/Jaxx ability to use css or skins like Flex

I switched from Java applet development to Flex about 3 years ago. At this point my Java knowledge is somewhat outdated.

  1. I see that Jaxx offers a Flex like way to do css; is anyone using it successfully?

  2. Are there other mainstream add-ons that provide the ability to use techniques similar to .css and skinning the way Flex does?

I'm aware that JavaFX is coming, but 2.0 is still beta and I need to jumpstart some research in order to address Java ~ Flex tradeoffs for a new project to my boss.

At this point any links or product names to get me started would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred.

Article: A Framework for Building Micro Metrics for LLM System Evaluation

LLM accuracy is a challenging topic to address and is much more multi-dimensional than a simple accuracy score. Denys Linkov introduces a framework for creating micro metrics to evaluate LLM systems, focusing on goal-aligned metrics that improve performance and reliability. By adopting an iterative "crawl, walk, run" methodology, teams can incrementally develop observability.
