OK, I see your point. Still, for any given platform, I'd think that
Java
alone would be significantly more portable than "C++ with WxWidgets
as the GUI
library."

.... and you would be wrong ;-)

As soon as you enter GUI-land you are in trouble. SUN is not
incompetent so it must be pure malevolence!!

I got so pissed off on the latest occasion that I wrote the Java
application as an command-line-only XML-RPC server and the GUI in
Python with WxWidgets.


How does WxWidgets do insofar as having the end application "feel"
like the
"native" applications on a given platform do?

Perfeckt ;-)

In *my* opinion WxWidgets look and feel 100% native - but then I also
never did anything really clever with it.
