Multiplatform delevopment with WinDev

Hi,
Since it is possible to generate a java application from a project I suspect that this should be the way to go in trying a multiplatform develpment using WinDev. So, trying to keep the multiplatform development simple, I shoud use just the WinDev controls and functions that works in java, so I feel that this could allow me to develop multiplatform application but I will lose the windows only advanced windev controls and functions.
I know that developing web projects using WebDev is an alternative for multiplatform development, but I still prefer to develop desktop applications.
¿Does someone have experience in this scenario? Any comment is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Rod.

Hi Rod,

I'm doing some research on this.

Is easy to do. But, you need to have some thing in mind
- Reports is not available in WDJava, and, the use of something external is mandatory. I'm trying to do some things with JasperReports.This, will be published soon (I hope).

- HyperFile with Java only works on Windows and Linux (but if you have a Linux 64 bits enviroment, you need to have a Java 32 bits VM). With Windev 15, Hyperfile will work on OSX, but I don't know if some patch will give this to previous versions of Windev. For this, if you want truly cross platform apps, you need to use some database like sqlite for example (I name sqlite because it don't needs an installation to use it).

I'm doing all of this, in a project I call WDTestingJava(1). This project, is for taking in count all the things for an application totally portable in all enviorments, and using something like a MVC pattern. I need some help with it, because communication with JasperReport is going me crazy, and, very sad, I'm a little out of time because I'm preparing to change of home.

Probably, I will publish the source some hours later, searching for help, to finish this projects, and I hope can help somebody.
