A first option would be to use a Java toolkit to develop the GUI
(AWT, Swing, SWT…).
I have spent quite a lot of time lately on OCaml-Java and made
some important improvements. Performances are now quite
acceptable (always faster than OCaml bytecode and "not so far"
from native code), and it is possible to call Java libraries without
using Nickel.
However, it is still now clear when OCaml-Java 2.0 will be released ;
moreover, it will be of "alpha" quality at first.
So, if you have to develop your application in the next month and/or
need to use stable software, then use
http://gallium.inria.fr/~xleroy/software.html#camljava
as suggested by Gerd.
