[Java-gnome-developer] Why are GTK bindings not a standalone release?

[Maarten B. <boe...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I was wondering why the GTK bindings are not a separate standalone 
release from the Gnome bindings. Just as GTK is a popular toolkit for 
building user interfaces with Python *but without gnome*, they could 
become a popular alternative for Java and JVM-based scripting languages 
as well. It would also allow a release on Windows where the Gnome 
libraries are not available (but the GTK libs and its dependencies are).
