Do you know that there is an OpenSource licensing of the QT GUI programming under C++ ? And it works with Linux, Windows and Mac.

Did that help?
Yes, greatly! Thanks alot!
I feel that I should issue the standard warning:
"Java is proprietary software. As such the more you use it the more you will be locked in by the company which owns it."
I know that. Nonetheless I have my very specific reason to use Java. Usually I would use C++. Even for programs that have to run in many different environments. In my case the GUI frontend has to run perfectly on Macs, Windows and (which is the hard part) a Unix remote console (textbased). With Java I have the possibility to write the Swing code only once and use all those nice Swing replacements (charva for ncurses and SwingWT for SWT). I compile my stuff to native machinecode with gcj wherever it makes sense so that no more proprietary software is involved.
If that company (Sun at present) gets sold or if they sell Java, or if they simply change the distribution channels you will need to pay dearly for it or be hanging of nothing.
There are enough alternatives to compile and run Java-code without Sun's help. Another good reason to use it is that in my experience it greatly reduced development and maintenance costs.
thx again, for your always useful and interesting input.
