I'm a newbie of Java language and I would like to know how I could
create a GUI in Java for a console program written in C, 'cause I'd
like to write a platform indipendent Graphical application.
I found out some helps at
http://www.math.ucla.edu/~anderson/JAVAclass/JavaInterface/JavaInterface.html.
Do you know further sites/references where I can find some stuff and
help?

Thanks in andvance for your replies.

I do not think that gui newsgroup is the right place to discuss this, so
I set the followups to comp.lang.java.programmer

To access functionality written in c from Java (or vice versa) you need
to use JNI (Java Native Interface).

Online book about JNI

http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/

JNI Spec

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jni/index.html

SWIG (a tool to make using JNI a LOT easier)
