Re: porting DC++ to java? can it be done?
Good question. Are you a Java programmer? Try porting it. If you're not a Java programmer, is the point to find a good DC client that runs on your platform?Jimpa wrote:Well, the subject says it all =)
dc++ language
DC++ is written in c++ which in my opinion is the best language to write it in anyway.

I think you might have a hard time doing some of the graphic stuff in Swing, but it's been a very long time since I've touched Java.Jimpa wrote:The point is that crossplatform software is, in my opinion, a good thing. DC++ seems like an ideal program to be written/ported in/to Java.
Good luck with the porting!

jimpa: please try to use google a bit before you ask such question, please.
btw. javaDC looks quite good, but I haven't tried it yet.

I hope this should be no problem now. Swing seems to be getting better. And, honestly, DC++ is not the most graphic program I have ever seen and also certainly not the best looking. But the point is not to look good at all costs, but to be functional. I have seen much more complex and nicer GUI programs written in Java.GargoyleMT wrote: I think you might have a hard time doing some of the graphic stuff in Swing, but it's been a very long time since I've touched Java.

It was kind-of nice once, but its a bit buggy. I think most bugs are pretty easy to fix though.yilard wrote:btw. javaDC looks quite good, but I haven't tried it yet.
