The Abstract User Interface Toolkit (AUIT)

AUIT is aimed to support as many platforms and toolkits as possible provided there is a Java 2 (or a more recent) virtual machine available. The platforms currently supported (as of Preview 3) are:

• Java/Swing
• Apple Mac OS X using Cocoa
• OSF/Motif 2.1 or Open Motif
• Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000 (but not NT 3.x)

The following platform will be supported in the (hopefully) near future:

• KDE/QT
• GNOME/GTK+
• GNUstep
• BeOS, if someone is willing to provide me a BeOS compatible PC (BeOS doesn't run under VirtualPC)

The following platforms will never be supported:

• Apple Mac OS 9 or earlier, because there is no support for Java 2; and the platform will be dead when Mac OS X is finally released
• Microsoft Windows 3.1 or earlier or Windows NT 3.x, because there is no decent Java VM, and the platform sucks anyway
• Athena (Xaw), because this toolkit is never intended to write applications for it

These platforms will eventually be supported, but don't hold your breath:

• Motif 1.2, to support the LessTif people (of course, I would prefer that LessTif will upgrade to Motif 2.1)
• Sun XVIEW, because I have a weak spot for the only toolkit I liked under X (it didn't emulate Windows, OS/2 or NeXTstep)
• WindowMaker WINGs, just out of curiosity
