One of my little pet projects is j2c which can translate java to c++..
I've used it to translate SWT to C++ and it actually works (their demo
apps run with a gtk backend).. swt has of course been a source of
inspiration for dwt, both being light weight and using native widgets as
far as possible but trying to hide some of the ugliness.

I sort of agree that qt is better than gtk+ these days, specially for
non-linux platforms, but it's also pretty heavy weight, which was one of
the reasons I didn't use it (or wxwidgets) when we left wtl behind...I
also never really liked their api, build (moc) and so on but that's
mostly down to taste - last time I looked was around qt3 so I'm
completely out of date here as well.

the swt translation of course requires a lot of work, but it's a fun
option from a leisure programming point of view, and it could be used to
grow dwt into something more generally useful...

Title:
  Moving away from Win API to Multiplatform

Status in DC++:
  New

Bug description:
  Isnt it time to move away from Win API to multi-platform so every
  platform can enjoy the vanilla client without using mods.

  Currently im running DC++ under Wine and there are alot of missing
  features under Wine since they are windows specific and not working
  proper under Wine and that got me thinking why..

  More and more are moving away from Windows these days since the
  introduction of Windows 8 to other platforms and the development of
  LinuxDC++ seems really low more dead to be fair so why not fill the
  void with small steps towards true multi-platform.

  and without starting to talk about what windows manager to use etc im
  more or less talking about core features but if i can suggest
  something that seems ok, its QT5 i truly hope this feature request at
  least gets some proper consideration and discussion at the top level.
