Re: JAVA GUI for perl program

You can use Inline::Java to bridge Perl and Java. It supports GUI behavior. There is even a thin wrapper over Inline::Java which provides sugar for the task: Java::Swing. <disclosure>I wrote Java::Swing</disclosure>

I've tried Inline::Java, but it's quite slow (at least at start it seems to freeze for about 30'-1min, and we can't get this to the clients).	[reply]

The first time you run something with Inline::Java it must compile all the java code involved. It should be much faster on the second load, at least until you change the code and have to recompile. All Inline modules for compiled languages suffer this problem. But, Inline is good at caching the results of the compile. If you're a bit more clever than I, you can have that compilation happen during make or make test. Consult the Inline mailing list for details. Phil	[reply]
