[Java-gnome-developer] Writing multiplattform applications

[Khiraly <khi...@gm...>]

Dear list, 

I want to develope a multiplattform software, but at the same time I
want to have a gtk2 version of my software (if possible a native binary
too).

Can somebody offer me a good starting tutorial?

If I use gtk2 bindings, how can I compile for other plattform? (macOSX,
windowsXP)

Thx in advance, 

Khiraly

Gtk2 runs on Windows. Probably OS X too, but I've never tried that.

We do not have a gtk only tutorial at this time.  Perhaps this is
something we can work on after our release and API freeze tomorrow.
Are you already familiar with gtk?  If so, java-gnome should
feel quite natural.  If not, perhaps you can go through the gtk
tutorial but use java-gnome instead of C.

Windows compilation was something that was worked on a little while
ago but was never completed.  We have discussed making this
part of our focus after the release tomorrow.  As far as I know our bindings
have not been built on macOSX although it should be quite easy.  
Currently I don't have access to such a system to test/debug.

Please let us know how things go for you and don't hesitate to ask
question here.

Im not familiar with gtk2. I have tried just gtk2-perl for some of my
scripts. (because my sister wanted executed too;)

Thx. Currently I dont have either access to windows machine, but in my
vision there will be more windows people using my software as linux
people.

My other question (what I have forgotten):
There are any relationship between java-gnome and libswt?
(http://libswt.sourceforge.net/)

What I have readed the primary goal is similar for the two projekt
(writing java application which use gtk2 for apparence.)

By what point of views can i choose between the two libraries?

For now I have only use swing for the graphical interface. (java)

Best regards,=20

The two libraries are not the same and do not share the same goal.

SWT only uses gtk on *NIX platforms.  The goal of SWT is to provide
a cross platform widget toolkit that uses the native library on each
platform (win32 on Windows, GTK or Motif on *NIX, etc.).   Any form
of integration into the platform desktop is not portable.

Java-GNOME provides bindings for the libraries that make up the
GNOME stack (glib, atk, pango, gdk, gdk-pixbuf, gtk, libgnome,
libgnomeui, libgnome-canvas, libgconf, and libglade).  If you are
building applications for the GNOME desktop then you would
choose Java-GNOME.  Also, if you are building applications for
GTK then you would choose Java-GNOME.
