Re: Toolkit Wizardry

[Dan Rosen <dr cs brown edu>]

Yeah, it seems like that's a project best left to those who don't have
courses left to complete :)

For anybody interested, I was actually modelling the project fairly
closely after the Java AWT, which makes sly use of the object-oriented
bridge and abstract factory patterns (decoupling the platform-independent
widgets from their platform-dependent "peers"). The extra twist was that
Java itself has its own event handler, socket monitor, and all that
(meaning that no peers are necessary for those classes) and for my project
I would have had to make peers for those things in each toolkit and
provide my own where they were lacking. Tricky...

I'm curious, though, has anybody managed to compile the Java AWT with a C
or C++ (or any other non-Java) wrapper around it? Or, vice-versa, is there
such a thing as a Java wrapper for GTK+?
