Java (maybe J++) Development

[Larry]

I'm considering doing some Windows 95/98/NT development in Java.


I usually program in VC++ w/MFC.


A couple of questions:


1. Can you create stand-alone (.EXE) programs?


2. What are the most obvious benefits of Java over VC++ w/MFC?

[Zafir Anjum]

I don't believe you can create an EXE in a reliable way. There might be a few

tools to do this but probably are not industrial strength. Besides, it's just

not a good idea.


You do have to understand that Java is still significantly slower than C++.

So, if you are planning to write Windows only application, I'd say stick with

MFC.

Hi.


1. Can you create stand-alone (.EXE) programs?


->No, I don't think so. We need the same Java VM to the mahine and

JDK, J++ and so on because Java is executed from class file to be interpret

language like Perl.


2. What are the most obvious benefits of Java over VC++ w/MFC?


->I don't know the recent version JDK1.2.

Until JDK1.1.6, Sun tries to enhence GUI of Java.

Java is more powerful tool of Web technology as well as network

than VC++ with MFC.


Hope for help.
