You mean rewritting 70k+ lines of code in Java? Yuck.

What about Java ? Any plans ?
No offense to all you Java lovers out there, but I just can't see changing
from C to Java. From what I've experienced, Java is still not stable. I
see so many applets crash because of some missing part, or some
difference.
I didn't mean Java as a tool to write downloadable code on the Web,
I meant Java as an Object Oriented tool to set up portable
User Interfaces, just to replace the xforms part.
The problem with the applets comes mostly from the version of the code
embedded with the WWW client, that the user cannot control.
Seems to me that there is the same amount of work to turn xforms
into Java than in any other UI.
I do not know about kde, but I suppose that the job was done once
to get the kde interface ?
I'm sorry if my question raises an unappropriate debate here.
Perhaps the question of the portability of the UI has been discussed
and settled already (in the doc ? :-)).
