[Qt-jambi-interest] Some questions about Qt Jambi

[Tom Schindl]

Hi,

Not sure what to suggest when it comes to whether using Qt-Jambi in
commercial product but there are alternatives naturally:

* Swing
* SWT integrates nicely on Win32 and MacOS-X as well as on Linux-Gnome

I can point you also to a project I started some time ago named UFaceKit
[1,2] which is hiding the real toolkit behind a facade and so allows you
to defers the choice of the UI-ToolKit.

LGPL is a quite commerical friendly license and even if you modify
LGPL-Code you only have to contribute back the modified code and NOT
publish your own (but I'm not a lawyer).

It's really a bitty that Nokia took this step and on the other hand
invested into a Qt-eSWT-Port on the other side. Please note eSWT != SWT.
