I guess this will depend a bit upon how much changes one can foresee in
the Qt in the near future. As it is, I think Qt Jambi is great in it's
current state, thus if you are satisfied with the 4.5 or maybe 4.6
version of Qt, then the risk wouldn't be that high.
However, if major changes in the Qt API construction is to come that
will lead to lot's of changes in the Jambi bindings + that you would
like to "stay tuned" towards using these new features, then I would say
you may be up to some risk in starting a new project. If supporting
4.7, 4.8... only involves some updates in the type system environment
of Jambi to add new features, and the generator works more or less as
before, then we might be lucky getting some "spare time" support from
Gunnar and Eskil :-) to do the upgrades. What's in the crystal ball?

Hello list,
I've been using Qt's python bindings for a while, and I love this
framework both for the Core and Gui features. I'm not an expert gui
developer, and Qt gave me the opportunity to setup useful gui's in few
days.
Now I need to work with Java and I've always feared the huge world of
AWT/Swing, so I was relying all my hopes on Qt Jambi.
The 1 million $ question is: Qt Jambi will not be further supported by
Nokia/Trolltech after 4.6 release, does it make sense to rely on this
framework to start working with Java gui's? I mean, I'm not able to
contribute to Qt Jambi development, nor have the financial conditions
to found it (I hope I will in the future!). Should I thake a deep
breath and start learning Swing, to have a long lasting hope that my
gui skills will be supported? Is the Qt Jambi strong enough to give us
a promising future perspective?
Ok, easy questions for difficult answers... I need just a hint to avoid
investing on something that doesn't fit my skills.
Have a good day,
Giovanni
