wx4j was originally developed for use in the Cart application:

   http://cart.sourceforge.net/

Unfortunately, Cart development has basically ceased, since corporate=20
sponsorship ended.  The app is still used, but it has some very rough=20
edges, some of which are due to wx4j itself.

I have no idea if it's a good idea.... I don't know anything about your=20=

application. :)  wx4j is missing quite a large chunk of the wxWidgets=20
API, and anything that's not already implemented, you will have to=20
implement.  I =0Bdon't have the slightest idea about your situation...=20=

what's your budget, how many developers, what's your timeframe, what's=20=

wrong with the current Swing app, etc.  I will say that if you go with=20=

wx4j, that you will definitely have some work to do on the wx4j end. =20
If you have the spare resources, and plan on this, then wx4j may be a=20
great idea.  But I doubt wx4j will work well enough for you out of the=20=

box right now.  Since we lost one of our developers (the one working on=20=

Cart), wx4j development has basically ceased, as well.  I don't=20
personally have the extra free time to commit outside of work for this=20=

project, so if you go with wx4j, you'll be pretty much on your own. =20
That said, I think wx4j is still a cool concept.  It was just a lot=20
more work than originally planned, and we just don't have the resources=20=

at our company to support it.

No idea, sorry.
