[Java-gnome-developer] Swing-Replacement based on Java-gtk possible?

[Hans P. <jav...@gm...>]

Hello! 
 
I want to make a SWING-replacement based on native GTK2. 
 
I started watching for a SWING replacement running on GCJ, and soon I 
found another guy looking for the same. So we decided to write a 
lightweight swing, and soon we discovered that the internal design of 
swing is really terrible for speed reasons. 
So I decided to make it native, I know a strange thing but also Apple 
managed to do it using Carbon... 
 
So please could you answer me some questions: 
 
1.) Would it be a good idea to use java-gtk as a basis, or would it be 
better to write our own bindings. Maybe it would be a better idea to use 
CNI, dont really know.... 
Do you know how much faster CNI is compared to JNI using GCJ? 
 
2.)I tried to compile java-gtk on my machine, but it always fails saying 
that pkg-config cant find gobject-2.0. I didnt find any package calles 
like this, and I simply dont know what to do. 
Any ideas? 
 
3.)How complete are the bindings? Is it possible to write own layouts, 
whats up with html? 
 
I hope you can answer me this questions, good luck. 
 
Lg Hans
