Given that, and some of the intimations by others, I'm going to vote +1 for developing it as a Swing based GUI.
Having used both a ton, I always liked the Swing object model better than SWT anyway. :-) -----Original Message----- From: nisen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, February 22, 2010 11:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [jira] Created: (PDFBOX-627) [gui] The PDFBox GUI for gsoc2010 I am familiar with Swing and mentor students who has graduate now use Swing.
