Seems to me the reason why gcj is a problem is the UI and not the underlying engine. It amazes me how much effort is wasted in producing substandard UIs to otherwise excellent software. I'm biased because of what I'm used to (and not used to), but IMHO developing web based UIs is much, much easier than the same thing in C++ or Swing. Traditionally web based UIs were limited, but nowadays most of the limitations have been removed thanks to CSS styling and 'AJAX' techniques (example: gmail). How about writing this software as a process serving HTTP requests to a local web browser? Joe.
