Researching JX c++ GUI. http://www.newplanetsoftware.com/jx/
EDIT 2012-12-27
Downloaded version 3.0.0 of JX via http://sourceforge.net/projects/libjx/?source=dlp, license seems to be lgpl v2.1

So will attempt to make a 'JX_834v5010generator' and see how I like trying to use JX for writing the GUI.
Since my eventual goal, if JX proves to be what I use to make a full releasable version of _834v5010generator, I will also document here what I needed to do to get Debian Stable to be able to run 'JX_834v5010generator'. So any additional libraries or configurations to Debian Stable I'll put in subsequent EDITs, for the goal of adding to the release documentation for the program.
My eventual fully 'all done' goal will be to make a Debian Package, and/or get the program added to Debian, depending on how much time I have, and if anyone finds it useful. A lesser goal might be I just have the source code of the program hosted at http://mrflash818.geophile.net if I find I am the only real user/developer of the program *humble sigh*.
EDIT 2012-12-28
Interacted with the author of JX via email, seems the most up-to-date JX sourcecode is provided out via github, so need to install and get refamiliar with using git.
EDIT 2013-01-11
Okay, installed git, and now reading up on git tutorials

EDIT 2013-01-17
Read a few Git tutorials, youtube presentation by Linus Torvalds,
now ready(?) to get hands dirty.

*** now I see all the files and directories of the project ***
Now I just need to read/learn/build the jx_application_framework and begin my attempt for JX_834v5010generator, huzzah.
