[Java-gnome-developer] Access 'replacement'

[Mark H. <mh...@ca...>]

That was one thing that came into my mind too. It is the main windows
app thats missing from linux (although some would say it encourages bad
practice, so shouldn't be ported). I think this could be put in the same
category as apps such as those to control supermarkets - essential for
firms who use them, but useless for most ppl, including open source
hackers who don't make a living out of it.

IMHO, it won't be done unless a company pays for it (Ximian, novell,
hp?). But then they have no incentive to use java-gnome :(

As for what needs to be done to make java-gnome a killer app, I'd
suggest just keep going how we are - fixing bugs, improving the API and
implementing other gnome features. If the java-gnome is as good as we
all think, it will get the attention and get apps written for it.
