yFiles for Java (Swing) 2.x,
yBPMN, and yExport

Technology moves on

For projects that need to support legacy Java versions before Java 8, the 2.x line of yFiles for Java supports Java 7 and earlier. It uses an older API design and provides fewer features out-of-the-box than the 3.x line. In new Java Swing projects, we recommend starting development with the 3.x line of yFiles for Java (Swing).

Even though we recommend the new yFiles for Java (Swing) 3.x library some need to support legacy Java versions before Java 8.

For those of you who are still interested in yFiles for Java 2.x or its extensions, feel free to contact us.

Next-generation yFiles for Java (Swing)

Java 8
or higher

Beginning with version 3.0, the yFiles for Java (Swing) diagramming library features a brand-new, modern API which requires Java 8. This API is mature and provides many new features that are not available out-of-the-box in the 2.x line. It also provides the functionality of the ySVG, yExport and yBPMN package as source code application, therefore the extension packages are no longer required.

We recommend to start development with the next-generation yFiles for Java in new Java Swing projects.
Especially in projects that don't need to support legacy Java versions before Java 8, this is the recommended way to realize your application's diagram visualization part.
