Sven, Tom,
Thanks for the suggestions. I mentioned SwingWT in the interest of not
reinventing the wheel. Of course other peers could be written.
Sven, how far along on the Qt peers are you? Which version of Qt are you
using?
I'm thinking, Qt is definitely a damn fine library, and runs natively on
Win32 & Win64, Linux and X11 on many platforms (not just Intel), and on
Mac OS X PPC (and perhaps soon, native on Mac OS X Intel).
That definitely would remove the complexity (for the majority of users
that just want something "that just works") of having to install too
many things just to run a native distribution of Classpath and a FOSS
VM. They would only have to install Qt for their platform and the
VM/library distro. The Qt linstall could even be bundled with the
VM/library for ease of installation.
Hmmm .... :-)
