[edit] Discussion

Why don't you have comparison to VCF (http://vcf-online.org)?

  • Possibly because not enough people know about it that are willing to contribute to this page. If you do know the finer details, feel free to post them. I haven't used the library, but on first glance, some points of interest are that VCF is under a BSD license, it has integration with the AntiGrain and FreeImage libraries, and it looks like documentation is not any better than wxWidgets with statements like "Currently you need to connect to cvs and pull down either the latest stable version or the latest development version to install on MacOS X systems." in the official manual while Mac source release files are on the SF.net project page. There seems to be a lot less platforms/compilers supported than wxWidgets (though they do have the Big 3(tm)). --Tierra 19:02, 2 May 2006 (PDT)

The MFC is documented as being "free for Windows"; don't you have to purchase a copy of MS VC++ to get access to the MFC?

By looking at info on JUCE, i found this page: http://wtl.wikispaces.com/OtherGuiLibraries fairly up to date. JUCE should be entered on this wikipage as well

[edit] Revision History

[edit] Revision 04:22, 26 March 2006 by 70.125.85.26 (→wxWidgets compared to Java)

The only reason to take out this information might be because it's outdated or the referenced links are dead (which is not the case). Please explain why these two bullets should be taken out. --- Tierra 12:14, 26 March 2006 (PST)

  • I think the bullets should be combined into one bullet talking about speed differences. Link to http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/ maybe, and mention that speed difference is hardly a main concern for most applications.
  • I think SWT, Swing, and perhaps even AWT should be mentioned specifically, not just Java in general.
  • A benchmark comparing anything with java version 1.4.0 from februrary 2002 (current version is 1.6 from december 2006) is definitely outdated (85.178.202.198 04:46, 14 November 2007 (PST))
