Hi Massimo,

Is it a standalone web- or desktop application? Since you mention swing, I
assume you want to write a desktop app.

I would start by writing the Java GUI skeleton and then add PHP
functionality to it, please see
http://php-java-bridge.sourceforge.net/pjb/standalone.php for an example.

*I* would write the entire application in java. PHP makes sense for
short-lived scripts, but I wouldn't use it to drive the entire desktop
application. -- I think PHP 5.3's new reference counter can reclaim certain
cycles, but I wouldn't trust it.

If you want to use PHP as a plugin only, use the JSR 223 API.


> PHP-equipped Jetty (http://jetty.mortbay.org/jetty/) on localhost

Why do you need jetty for a desktop application?
