I went through the pain of plugging one of our Fortran codes into a
GUI written in Java. I'll resign if I'm asked to do it again. Java
is not cross-platform, Java runs only on a JVM. If you are new to
Java I strongly suggest you do not start by trying to learn how to
interface Java with libraries (dll, so, lib .a, whatever) written in
other languages.

Regards

Mark

Thanks all for your insights and suggestions - I am not sure yet and I
guess I will play a bit with some of the suggestions made!

Python was pretty painless on Windows, and is probably just as easy on Linux
(I'll find out soon).
