If your needs do not require advanced graphic requirements, the best
course of action is to write a servlet accessed via the browser -- an
HTML GUI. It's easy enough for a script tostart the servlet and launche
the users prefered browser accessing it in one shot. With a little more
cleverness one can even deacivate bowser menus and toolbars even --it
would be hard to tell such a browser window from any other GUI app.
