Of course, that's common sense usability guidelines - don't confuse the user just because you choose language X. Which is why I find the stated goal of a common UI layer a pipe dream, it can't be done without a good amount of compromising. The most successful multi- platform applications share a common core but bind to different UI layers. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
