[Java-gnome-developer] starting with java-gnome

[Tomasz M. <tmi...@co...>]

Hello All

I'm thinking about starting a development with java-gnome. As a starter
I want to write some small tools just for myself as a proof-of-concept.
But before i really jump on it i have few questions:

1. Is it possible to use java collections (like Vector, Hashtable, etc)
with java-gtk/java-gnome. I ask bcoz i saw that gtk/glib is using it's
own list/maps implementation?

2. What about other java specific features/APIs and GTK? Can I, for
example use java Thread inside Java-GTK app? 

3. How is GObject related to generic java Object?

4. which version of javagtk is ok to start with? I use Ubuntu and it
ships with 2.8.3. Should i switch to the latest cvs to stay current?

5. Did someone tried to use jakarta subprojects inside GTK app(commoncs
for instance) and compile them with gcj?

Any reply to these questions will be appreciated.
TIA and regards.
