The aim of the project was to experiment new or enhanced GUI functionalities that are required by Rich client applications. It acted as a testbed for ideas related to client side technologies.
Some successful project components were eventually incorporated into the core Swing toolkit for future Java versions, although API compatibility was not guaranteed. Examples of these are:
The new Desktop class in Java SE 6, which allows to launch easily associated applications registered on the native desktop, as for example : launching the user-default browser, launching the user-default mail client, launching a registered application to open, edit or print a specified file.
Sub-projectsedit
The swingLabs project was divided into several sub-projects. For example:
scenegraph: A library providing 2D Scene graph functionality to Java 2D, including Swing widgets. This library is used internally by the JavaFX Script language.
PDFRenderer: A PDF viewing library written in pure Java.

During the sunsetting of java.net in 2017,[3][4] the public repository for SwingLabs was deleted, effectively terminating the SwingLabs project.[1] Several repositories containing snapshots of the final development version of SwingLabs (1.6.6-SNAPSHOT) do exist, however:
