Re: Java Versus gtk

[Harring Figueiredo <harringf yahoo com>]

 John,

 I had the same dilema about one year ago. The reason I chose GTK was that java
(at that time) did not support file lokcing -- Now, with the nio package, they
seem to support - you might try and see if it is not buggy like in Java 1.4.1
!!)

 The other reason was that the GUI runs a bit more smoth with GTK and that I
needed to do low level bit manipulation (java sucks for this.)

  GTK has some issues also -- most of the stuff are VERY linux oriented (with
all good reasons) and implementation of some things in Windoze is quite
different from Linux (Check GIOChannel for example).

   I gues that, all in all, it comes to language preference -- I like
programming in C.


   Harring.
