Yes! Please check out

(make sure you try all three mouse buttons...)
It's something I whipped up in a few days of Java... But I really
think Java is the way to go!! It's system independent so the GUI will
theoretically work under all OS's. MS is already causing
problems...but I don't think that's a show stopper. Java is cool
too.. Better Object orientated that C++ (IMHO). It's somewhat
slow but really not too bad.. and we could work out a Web server
based Octave...for education and demos!
I know some people had there heart set on Tk, but I really think this
will be more portable and in the tradition of Octave's cutting
edge...(I'd guess C++ was somewhat new when jwe started), and OO
design. Of course, I know little of Tk so I'm prepared to be flamed..
but let's kill the Tcl idea already..it's a minor scripting language.
