Are there any professional Java desktop applications in use? I'm asking this because I started to study Java and would like to know it's possibilities and/or domains in which java is used.
A:
DumpHD is a well-written application in Java; it works perfectly in Windows and Linux.

A:
Some of the largest existing ones are from the software development space (thats also the primary domain for desktop applications) like Eclipse or Netbeans or Rational Software architect.
Another big one is the IBM DB2 Tools (not the database itself). (But if you want to see something as a reference better not take these because they are slow as hell).

It's worth noting that both Eclipse and Netbeans also offer a platform for developing applications on and not just an IDE. Here is a sample of applications written using the Netbeans Platform
