If native look and feel is critical, Swing is not a good choice. If you
do require native look and feel for Java, there is SWT from the Eclipse
project. See www.eclipse.org for more details.
Native look and feel is also wxPython's strength but mixing Python and
Java (and C/C++) in a single executable will be a challenge. If you do
decide in favor of wxPython, consider running the GUI as a separate process
from the main Java application (as Robin suggested).

I know very little about Java at this stage and I know basically nothing
about Swing. I'm searching the web to find more information. In the
meantime I was wondering what the pros and cons of using Swing as
apposed to wxPython as a GUI. My experience with wxPython is positive.
I like the way it is implemented and the GUI widgets seem very good
and have a native OS look and feel.Many thanks,

I would drop the wxPython idea and go with Swing, either with straight
Java or Jython. Doesn't sound like you have a compelling reason to add
the extra complication of another set of dependencies; Swing is a quite
capable toolkit (and far better documented than wxPython).-Jonathan

Hi,
I have a Java application from a company. They also provide an API
in
C++ (MSW platforms only) and Java (for all platforms) for developers
that want to create their own front end. I want to use wxPython to
create a decent Unix opensource frontend.Is it possible to Interface python to a java application easily ???
Assuming yes to above, would something like Jython or SWIG or some
other
tool be required.
Any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated.
