Hi, I think GNOME bindings 'll prevent my app to be cross-platform compatible. and as far as the question of looking consistent with other desktop apps is there, jdk 6 project(Mustang) has come up with new Swing GTK LookAndFeel which adapts GNOME theme and renders swing component appropriately.
If i look for advantages/features specific to desktop environments then there are many frameworks available like java-GNOME for GNOME,QtJava / KDEJava for KDE,SWT,etc. It would take considerable amt of time to learn any of them..i guess. how much is it advisable to spend time learning new framework for issues like application's visual compatibility / using desktop env. specific features(like gnome applets,etc)?? wouldn't it be good to put same effort for working on core project (which is cross-platform compatible)?? just a thought. regards.
