[Java-gnome-developer] 3 questions

[Grigory P. <gpt...@cm...>]

Hello.

I am a java developer and a linux user (currently it is ubuntu 10.04 LTS). I
feel that I am constantly missing some kind of panel applet in gnome so I've
decided to develop it myself. The applet is going to be very simple. Only
one interaction with outer world will be needed: the awareness about whether
the system is going to be shutdown or hibernated or suspended etc. The panel
applet will store some data through time and show some reports on a user's
demand.

So my questions are:

   1. Can I at all write a gnome panel applet with java-gnome?
   2. If yes then can I enable my applet to be aware of system shutdown etc?
   3. Is there any preferred way to store data for panel applets? I am
   looking at SQLite.


Thanks in advance.
