Hello folks,
First of all, I'm perfectly the same "helcaraxe" as in qtforum.org, so hello to all who know me from there.
Now the question.
I have to deal with ArcEngine 9.1 at work, and I develop my stuff in Java at present because it was required to be platform independent.
On ESRI web site it says that ArcEngine 9.2 will have Qt widgets.
Now a colleague wants to integrate my frontend (which is written in Java using javax.swing GUI) in a Qt GUI application he builds with Qt (3.3.4 afaik). And the "now" is meant literally here. I already told him to wait for the 9.2 version and everything is fine...
Is it possible to integrate Java GUI components in a Qt widget? Something using the JNI probably? Or, to put the question more detailed, has any one of you already done something similar (especially with ESRI stuff)?
It is not neccessary to interact much - the interaction is done via TCP. I don't need access to mouse clicks, just resize events should be passed to the Java code somehow.
By the way the Java thing is a JFrame subclass.
I know I can basically find a way to do this in a JNI book - I already got one here; it's more the experience I'm asking for. Like how much effort would be neccessary to build something like that, and how good the results can be.
Thanks in advance so far.
I got one more question especially for the Trolltech guys.
Is there any interaction going on between Trolltech and ESRI? At least anything we may know about outside these companies?
So long,
Jan
