Lazarus has not met its goal of 'write once and compile and run anywhere' and is taking far too long to develop. ?Should it be abandoned and replaced with a new graphical user interface library based on the Java Swing toolkit? ?I would be interested in your comments on this matter.

Maybe you should send this to the lazarus mailing list?

Does the Java Swing toolkit have c-style bindings? I expect it doesn't, which would mean that you will have to write an interface library, like lazarus uses with qt.

You are welcome to develop a new lcl interface that targets swing. I personally see no point in inserting a useless layer in between lazarus and the (native) widgetset.

Probably I'm a profane person, but....is not "fp IDE" the official IDE of Pascal? AFAIK.

On the other hand, Where sais WHEN Lazarus will be "finished"? or the objectives in space-time? Why Java is named in this mail? why "abandoned" and "replaced" words, are in this mail, beeing lazarus opensource and independent of the FreePascal Team project?

If I like Java, or .Net, or some supercool mainstream, I would not using Lazarus, I would using SharpDevelop or Netbeans/Eclipse, [ironic on]or better. VB6 [ironic off].

And lazarus slogan is:"write once, compile everywhere", nobody sais thath will run :D
