Why Linux Can Only Try

Someone said Java swing is worth considering for building GUIs. Here's how my fair trial went :

~/LEARN/swing/ 67> java HelloWorldFrame
Exception in thread "GtkMain" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: gtkInit
at _Jv_LookupJNIMethod (/usr/lib64/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at _Jv_JNIMethod.call(ffi_cif, void, ffi_raw, void) (/usr/lib64/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.GtkMainThread.run() (Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Thread.run() (/usr/lib64/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at _Jv_ThreadRun(java.lang.Thread) (/usr/lib64/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at GC_start_routine (/usr/lib64/libgcj.so.5.0.0)
at __clone (/lib64/tls/libc-2.3.4.so)

IOW : Utter crap!

Java may be the main choice for enterprise development now, but it’s days are numbered as the only stalwart option to go with.

Let’s face it, many of these so called “enterprise applications” could easily have been written much faster and with less overhead using technologies like Python, PHP, et al.
