#1742 — Swing vs .NET

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
I'm studying differences between those two architecture in order to
choose a setup to develop a completely new application. I'm a
programmer with some experience on C++ and PHP and i have basic
academic knowledge of VS.NET and Java and a few other. My application
is a data driven business application heavily based on GUI and will be
deployed mainly on Windows systems, but i eventually may like the
possibility to deploy it on Mac (most probably) and or Linux (least
probably).

Exclude AWT libraries, because their limited choice and heavyweight,
choose an IDE as you like (i.e. Eclipse, JDeveloper, NetBeans....),
include Swing and eventually some other Swing based libraries.

Questions:

VS.NET against JAVA about easy of development of GUI and Data access

VS.NET against JAVA about speed of execution of the application on
Windows

VS.NET against JAVA about availability and compatibility on Mac (or
eventually Linux)

In this specific case, this last question is the least important, but
i would like to know if Mono is going somewhere and is somewhere near
to be functional.

Note, i've read some webpages about that topic but mostly focus their
attention on portability, which is not a priority here and quite never
talk about the performance of the completed product. I've seen and
i've heard that Java based GUI based application sometimes are not so
fast and i would like an opinion from you.

Thank you.

You might also want to think about deployment. In what form, through 
which medium, automated or not etc...

For windows, Java WebStart is pretty OK (app icon, file association, 
easy installation of app, more or less easy JRE update). On other 
systems (Mac/Linux) this lags behind a bit (ie. no clean file 
association on Mac/Linux, JRE update doesn't work at all on Mac so you 
have to target a specific JRE/MacOS combination etc).

Nice point.

Thank you to have brought the attention on an aspect that i haven't
considered, even if it is only partially related to my specific needs.
