[Java-gnome-developer] Windows Portability in Java-Gnome

[Nick G. <ar...@ya...>]

First, I'd like to say I love the idea of Java-Gnome
and hope it will become very popular... I've not read
much about this... You aren't doing a lot of promotion
are you? Of course there is no Novell or Red Hat
behind the project but I think point releases should
be announced on slashdot and/or osnews. I think it's a
lot better than Mono because there is no patent
ambiguity   *and* one can choose not to use a VM by
compiling with GCJ, which is lot faster.

I've seen you are working on a Windows port for
Java-Gnome. What I can remember from using Mono, is
that they recommended using only GTK libs, no Gnome
libs, since GTK has been ported to Windows and Gnome
isn't. This still holds true for Java-Gnome right? 

However, your introduction tutorial uses the Gnome
libs right away (things like 'App app')... There is no
GTK-only example. It should be noted I've not set up
Java-Gnome correctly yet, so I can't write and test
one of my little GTK Mono apps.
