[ILUG] java swing applications under kde

[Oisin Kim]

Have a look at netbeans, http://www.netbeans.org the screen shots show
it working on multiple platforms
http://www.netbeans.org/articles/screenshots.html, and as I have found
out recently, having to use some win32 dlls, it works (under Gnome
anyway, haven't tried it with KDE).

It's not really fair to put down all Java stuff because of a couple of
"poor" development examples.

Them's fighting words, boy ! From a vi user, too.

Is it possible for anything but "Hello, world" to really be a 'Write
once,
run anywhere' Java program ? JREs seem to be a disaster area. I own the
Perl
CD bookshelf and I'd love to be able to use the supplied search engine
but
it's a Java app. and having wasted quite some time already trying to
make it
work, I just gave up in despair.
