wx4j: New Cross-Plattform UI toolkit for Java

Hi,

  The cross-plattform wxWindows UI toolkit already
sported bindings (support) for C# and Python and now
also adds Java to its stable thanks to the wx4j
project.

  Here is the official blurb from the wx4j website:

<quote>
wx4j is a Java binding for wxWindows providing a Java
UI toolkit using native widgets. Since wx4j uses
native widgets, it utilizes the native look and feel.
This is in contrast to Swing/JFC which tries to mimic
the native look and feel, but usually doesn't quite
feel right. In this respect, it is very similar to the
SWT toolkit used in IBM's Eclipse IDE. But rather than
inventing yet another toolkit, wx4j utilizes the
proven wxWindows C++ library and uses SWIG to expose
the API in Java. This also means the event loop
executes in C++ and is very responsive.

  The website also includes a bunch of Web Start apps
for showing off wx4j on your very own desktop with a
single-click.
