Are you talking about java+gtk ?

Well the answer is yes, GTK+ is portable, but you need to install't :) (also on windows, WinForms are not GTK!)

If you'r talking about java+gtk you'll need the native libraries and the java-native-interface libraries (You'll need GTK installed on your system and the native interface).

I don't know if libGnome is completely ported to Win32 systems.

uhm, what's a question here?

You can take a look on the JavaGnome API in 'our' homepage: http://java-gnome.sf.net/ too see what kind of features and advantatges you get using libGnome.
