Platform Independent Application

Which software use for create Platform Independent Application?

re: Platform Independent Application

One example is programs written in the Java programmig language.

re: Platform Independent Application

You can make almost any programming language mostly portable, by considering such standards as POSIX, but if your software requires a GUI, then you really are limited to Java. However, depending on the requirements of you application, it may still be necessary to make some platform specific parts (e.g. some hardware related stuff) via JNI.

re: Platform Independent Application

Use JDK to develop platform independent applications using JAVA.

re: Platform Independent Application

Being a C/C++ programmer, I use MinGW with platform independent API's for windows. Then they are also compilable on linux or mac when you compile them with gcc. GTK2, wxWindows, sdl, ... are a few that come right off my mind.

CodeBlocks is the best IDE since it is also cross-compatable, both in it's code, and in it's ability to compile the same projects (pending the same libraries are installed : )

Then if distributing your project as software, you can have separately compiled programs for their OS, and it will run faster, use less memory, and older computers/computers bloated with lots of software running can still run your program.

re: Platform Independent Application

Depending on your goal, a script language like python, perl or ruby could do the job too.
You can find more information on Cross-Platform Programming on Wikipedia.

If you use Java you don't even have to (re)compile anymore; Sun's slogan is
"compile once, run everywhere". I personally prefer: "compile once, debug everywhere".
