To write platform independent backend or commandline software is one
issue. Writing platform independent GUI ist pretty complicated as most
of you will agree.

Why write stuff twice, why not just reuse things? JNI isnt platform independent.
Many people will say the command line is dead. But its the basic idea
Unix/Linux builds on. And its easy to use.
Of course I will do some tests with JNI and command line and then compare
things. But I dont like the idea that I have to write backend api to build my
frontend.
Maybe there is somebody out there who things about writing a java subversion
wrapper library. If you, dear reader, are the one, just give me a call.... :-)
