Ha ha, sorry, no criticism meant at the usefulness of your commercial solution there! :-) But by "we" I'm really thinking of us here at Apache, and what we can ship support for in the IDE. Not to mention that a commercial license is a massive disadvantage to wider adoption. If we have a solution within the IDE, possibly built around (non-UI) parts of the NetBeans RCP, where people can export an application for each OS, we then have the basis of a Java-based Electron alternative / new NetBeans RCP where we could really drive some of this forward?

But this is also an area I'm willing to put my time where my mouth is! ;-) Best wishes, Neil -- Neil C Smith Artist & Technologist www.neilcsmith.net Praxis LIVE - hybrid visual IDE for creative coding - www.praxislive.org
