Answer 1

I don't think so... Swing has really old API, oracle left it behind in favor of JavaFX - which does have (and still developed) methods that use the new APIs.

Edit: just remembered, the only new 'feature' that I know of that was added to swing is the JFXPanel which is a way of integrating JavaFX components into your app swing-fx-interoperability
