[Qt-jambi-interest] Qt Jambi discontinured

[Dimitri Frederickx]

I just read the notification that Qt Jambi will be discontinued. I had 
this feeling for more than a year that Qt Jambi wasn't important for 
Trolltech/Nokia.

1. Qt Jambi releases followed weeks/months after Qt releases
2. Still no support for ActiveX.
3. The AWT / Qt Jambi bridge isn't part of an official release yet.
4. Still some major bugs in the software (Eg. The XML API's, Phonon, 
etc.)
5. ...

These are some of the problems which makes the life of a Qt Jambi 
developer very hard. The native integration is very hard to accomplish 
with this. I've been thinking for more than 3 months now of ditching 
Qt Jambi and port my program back to Qt, and this press report says I 
should do it as soon as possible.

I originally developed my program in C++ with Qt, but then switched to 
Qt Jambi because I was more familiar with the Java programming 
language, and I could do nicer things in Java. But since I've switched 
to Qt Jambi I've always regretted it.

Gunnar, these are no critics for you and your team. You have always 
been helpful in your support and feedbacks. Thanks a lot for it!


I also have the feeling that supporting Mac OS X is not a priority. 
There is still no Eclipse plugin, still a few major bugs (Phonon 
integration on graphics views for example), etc. Hopefully now that Qt 
Jambi will disappear the Mac OS X team will get more resources.
