One of my little pet projects is j2c which can translate java to c++.. I've used it to translate SWT to C++ and it actually works (their demo apps run with a gtk backend).. swt has of course been a source of inspiration for dwt, both being light weight and using native widgets as far as possible but trying to hide some of the ugliness.
I sort of agree that qt is better than gtk+ these days, specially for non-linux platforms, but it's also pretty heavy weight, which was one of the reasons I didn't use it (or wxwidgets) when we left wtl behind...I also never really liked their api, build (moc) and so on but that's mostly down to taste - last time I looked was around qt3 so I'm completely out of date here as well. the swt translation of course requires a lot of work, but it's a fun option from a leisure programming point of view, and it could be used to grow dwt into something more generally useful... https://code.google.com/a/eclipselabs.org/p/j2c/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Dcplusplus-team, which is subscribed to DC++. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297688 Title: Moving away from Win API to Multiplatform Status in DC++: New Bug description: Isnt it time to move away from Win API to multi-platform so every platform can enjoy the vanilla client without using mods. Currently im running DC++ under Wine and there are alot of missing features under Wine since they are windows specific and not working proper under Wine and that got me thinking why.. More and more are moving away from Windows these days since the introduction of Windows 8 to other platforms and the development of LinuxDC++ seems really low more dead to be fair so why not fill the void with small steps towards true multi-platform. and without starting to talk about what windows manager to use etc im more or less talking about core features but if i can suggest something that seems ok, its QT5 i truly hope this feature request at least gets some proper consideration and discussion at the top level.
