Java as a language has not been keeping up with the times, but the good news is you can write apps for the JVM with Scala, Clojure, or other JVM languages. The former has several wonderful LINQ-like data access libraries (of which Squeryl is the most mature. Note I say libraries -- no language extension needed), the latter is *the* Lisp to have for concurrent programming.

Nothing wrong with Swing, especially if you use Netbeans and its wonderful visual editor.
