I think that doing it in 100% pure Java is ok in long run but I wonder if you couldn't make "wrapper" plugin for a start (that would call the real C git for every operation) and make it usable (with full pure Java SWT UI support) and then try to implement feature by feature in pure Java (with config options telling what should be called by wrapper and what by pure implementation)? This way we could probably rather fast (basic versions of other GIT UIs were created rather fast IIRC) have basic support for GIT (preferably with GIT Java wrapper library for other projects) that would be usable for most users and this way you could gain more interest in the project. Also testing new pure implementation would be a lot easier (changing one line in config file to enable some pure Java feature and of course having an option to come back to wrapped version of this feature if new pure implementation was wrong). What do you think about it? Thanks, Grzegorz Kulewski
