        AFAIU you can use Java to build a GUI around some toolbox. In

        e.g., Java AWT to build your own GUI.



    Thanks. I wasn't aware of the Java package. I just looked it up. It
    sounds like it should be enough to make meaningful toolboxes for Octave.


Just for the record, this doesn't work on Mac OS X, because of the
restriction that the GUI must run in the main thread of a process. Works
fine under Linux and Windows, though.

Yes:

But it makes me wonder: is a Java-based GUI, started from Octave, any different from other Java-based progs? Or did Apple patch Java AWT on purpose to comply with their own "main thread" requirement?
