But... why use Java at all, if it's not going to be cross-platform?!? Isn't there any way of writing a good-looking Java application with the ease of InterfaceBuilder, or Delphi or VB...?


I do know that Apple sells a superb product, WebObjects, that does much of what you're asking, though what you can design with that is a client-side rich user interface for a network application. The GUI building tool works just like IB and produces a Java application that runs on the client's computer. The client communicates with a server running the WebObjects server application.

Apple offers an evaluation version on their developers Web site. Their Developer Library series has a title, "Inside WebObjects: WebObjects Overview." (That's where I'm getting this information from.) There are also some books on the subject from several reputable publishers.

Here is a very informative Web site from a developer who isn't shy about singing the praises of WO:

I hope this is of some help.

Thanks for the information. It looks very interesting. Just a few questions:
1) Do the resulting Java applications run on any platform?
2) Does the WO IDE run on any platform?
3) Do the resulting Java applications look and feel native?
4) Is it possible to produce simple Java applications, not linked to a application server at all? I'm not interested in doing anything like that, I would simple like to do client/server database programming.
5) Are there any screenshots or a trail version available?

Thanks!

Jonathan Neve.
