Question

I’d like a GUI framework that works on both Windows and Linux.

I’m confused because Googling has returned a lot of different ones.

Since I’m coming from a C# background, lots of choices means I don’t know which one is the best to use and might start learning one that is discontinued or generally frowned upon by the Java community.

Thanks.

I also suggest to choose a RCP (Rich Client Platform) rather than just a basic GUI toolkit (such as Swing, SWT, Windows Forms, WPF,…).

This leaves you basically with 2 choices:

• NetBeans Platform (Swing based)
• Eclipse RCP (SWT based)
