title: JavaFX 2.0 and Qt for cross-platform application
body: <p>I need a bit of advice from you developers who deal with cross-platform applications (specifically programs with a GUI).</p>
  
  <p>I will be creating an application soon that needs to be cross-platform and so I have done some preliminary research on two different frameworks: JavaFX 2.0 and Qt.</p>
  
  <p>Honestly, both would more than suit my needs. So then I asked myself why I would choose one over the other (SPOILER ALERT: I don't know the answer :P ). I do know that JavaFX 2.0 is rather new (as of 2012) and is not fully supported across platforms, but it will be eventually.</p>
  
  <p>The question I pose is this: which one of these would you use for a cross-platform application, and what criteria did you look at when making that decision?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you for taking the time to read this! :)</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
  For your reference when considering this question, the application I will be writing involves reading/writing XML files, displaying images, and creating some small widgets with custom functionality.  I've written a similar application in C# with .NET, but would like advice when considering JavaFX 2.0 or Qt for cross-platform usability.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks again!  :)</p>
