I personally don't like swing and almost never use it, except where
necessary.
I was only thinking of using JAVA as the infra-structure for the project for
communications between various sections (Various authors) of the code.
Java gives us
Independent - Platform independent.
threading - Helps us to ensure that time sensitive modules keep running
even if we have slow modules
- Easier to implement than most other languages
RMI - Remote Method Invocation (Only used when needed!)
- Allows us to remotely space modules.
- Eg You sit at home and send your EEG data to a friend/technician over
the net.
- How about synchronizing MANY people at the same time from a single
site.
JNI(++) - Allows interoperability with native code
I've been doing a fare bit of research and found J++
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jniplusplus/ should be a perfect vehicle for
interfacing Java to native code. So we should be able to plug (Almost) any
language into the infrastructure.
I haven't got anything on paper yet. Well nothing that would make sense to
anyone except me.
In the next couple of days I should have something for you guys to tear
apart! :-)
BTW what is NF ??
More to come
