Is there a way to write gnome-panel gui applet (like hamster, for example) using JVM application?
If it is not possible to do it using java, what other languages are available?
(I’m using Gnome 2 on Ubuntu)

While Java bindings for GTK+ exists (see http://www.gtk.org/language-bindings.php and http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net), I don’t think it is enough for creating panel applets. I would expect you to have better success with C#/Mono (using Gtk#), Python, or C.
