[OpenAFS] GUI Tools

[ted creedon]

Using an IDE might speed development up and increase portability. For $99
Visaj is a great deal.

Subject: RE: Java GUI Builder Special Offer

Hi Ted,

A good option for developing a GUI that will run on both Windows and X
Windows is to develop the GUI in Java.

We have special pricing available for Visaj, our Java GUI Builder, that
enables developers working on not for profit projects to purchase a full
Visaj license for $99.

If this is of interest to you please let me know and I will have an official
quote sent to you together with details on how to place an order.

Thanks

Neil

I've also had a bit of a look into a GUI for openafs.
the Java API looked promising, but requires a kaserver cell.
so doesnt work with kerberos setups

the perl AFS module also looked good.
http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/~nog/doc/afsperl.html
but currently segfaults with a multi-threaded perl, which most linux 
distributions now package.
http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/kwiki/nog/afsperl/index.cgi?ProductionVersion

I had a look at the openafs libs for coding something in C.
but couldnt find any decent docs or examples, and I didnt have the time 
to learn the API without a point in the right direction. using the 
openafs libs directly would be my prefered way, with a cross platform 
GUI toolkit. If anyone can suggest a decent place to start looking into 
this, please do so.

So currently I'm using perl and AFS::Command (in CPAN), which is a perl 
OO wrapper to the commmand line tools...along with perl-gtk
which is far from great.
