So, a true cross-platform is never exist. Two different operating system don't work the same way, so is the application(s) on top of them. From the way I see it, a cross platform GUI application is just an illusion of these extra layer. Ever considered Macromedia/Adobe Flash? I've heard Flash is evolving into a fearsome beast now. Other tools that you might be interested in maybe Oracle Developer. Well of course, if Oracle is only our option. Oracle Form and Report run virtually anywhere, both web-based (using OC4J or IAS) and desktop GUI application. But, the single point of truth is, why we need a true cross platform GUI application? What for? Why? There are always prices we have to pay. Maybe you’re pushing yourself too hard :)
