Getting rid of javax.swing

[DyspC]

This thing is atrocious and using an up-to-date graphic lib would help when something needs to change (probably something like JavaFX but I hate GUI tinkering and I don't know what's trendy and well supported, tell me if you think of something better)

The deconstructed window is:

• 2 text panels ('In' of the left and 'Out' on the right, 'Out' being read only)
• 3 buttons below, triggering actions with the content of the text panels (probably both) and updates the 'Out' one
• The vertical carets are somehow synced so that when processing some long text corresponding lines stay at the same level (the chorus button breaks it)
• resizable but looks like shit and resizing makes it worse

Hey, @DyspC could you please explain more about the project that the window will be a part of?
Thank you!

Hey @bharati-21,

Yeah sure, I'll write a README today or tomorrow that I can use for #1 but TL;DR this takes japanese song lyrics and splits the syllables to make karaoke syncing quicker (hence the 'text can be long' carret problematic).

Hi @bharati-21,

Sorry I'm a day late but I'm done with the readme. If you have more questions you can ask them here.

@DyspC thank you for informing me that you've updated the README file. Could you please tell me what this issue is about? Do I have to build a new window from scratch maybe using JavaFX?

[DyspC]

That's the main idea yes.

I've never used JavaFX but I think relying solely on the well documented jdk libs instead of a window composer would cause less trouble when I will try to add functionalities.

I tried to publish a github release of the app but my jar is rejected, here's an external link if you want a quick look https://transfer.sh/IABBV/LyricsPrimer_v2.15.jar
