[Java-gnome-hackers] Gnome2.defs

[Philip A. C. <pc...@td...>]

Everyone,

I have completed my first pass of gnome2.defs.  Everything compiles.=20
Later today, I will start working with the java classes to see what
works and what doesn't.

While looking through the gnome2.defs, I saw that we have the
gnome_util_user_home function defined.  This seems redundant to me since
Java already provides a way to determine the user's home directory
through the use of java.lang.System.getProperty("user.home").  Thoughts
anyone?

Jeffrey, do we have an "official" understanding on what to do when
gdk/gtk/gnome provides the same non-gui functionality which is provided
by standard Java APIs?  Often, we may need to provide the gdk/gtk/gnome
method because gui code depend on it, but what about stuff like
gnome_util_user_home?  I realize, or course, that gnome is an
environment and more than gui.  I just need to know where we draw the
line.

Thanks,
--=20
