One idea I had was to get SWT compiling with GCJ and to integrate the SWT
GUI builder with C/C++. Then at least the GUI widget handling part of VE is
already written and you could start by focusing on the C/C++ integration.
One could then add additional widget sets...
I for one would *love* to see this happen.
