C vs Java | SWT vs GTK+

[j_spinto]

Do you guys code Java for all kind off applications or just for graphic ones? Do java apps using SWT have a better performance than C Apps using GTK+?´
Thanks

yes, Java gets used for all kinds of apps.

No. SWT provides native bindings for the widget set that its running on. So, on linux/gtk, SWT will have native bindings for GTK. Its an extra layer of abstraction so it will take a performance hit.

I use java where I think it would be a good fit. Server side applications mostly. I don't do much with graphics, but I think there's a good chance I would use java for that too.

Probably not, Java apps run a little slower than pure C ones.

the vantage of java to VB is the portability? or the performance is still better?
