I currently write GUI business applications for Windows using Borland C++ Builder, but would like to convert them to cross-platform (Windows and Linux/Gnome). And that presumably means using Java. No problem there; I'd like to learn Java.
However, I'm not quite sure what tools to use and have a few questions which I hope somebody can answer.
* I have installed Eclipse; is that a good base to start with?
* Which widget toolkit is most appropriate? I've heard that SWT is simpler, but that Swing is more cross-platform.
* Is there a visual window designer and editor available which will work with Eclipse?
There are probably loads more questions I need to ask, but that's all I can think of for the moment.
Thanks a lot.
