xwindows forms???
If you want Java GUI apps in X, then yes, you can do it - all you need is the JDK for your platform (presumably Linux) which can be had from http://java.sun.com for the price of a couple of button clicks.

If you meant something else, what did you mean?

http://www.wxwindows.org/

this is a GUI-toolkit - a competitor to Qt if you like to see it that way.

What is wxWindows?
wxWindows gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms. Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac, others coming shortly) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform. On top of great GUI functionality, wxWindows gives you: online help, network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing and printing, and much much more.

as far as i understand, this is a C++-Toolkit for C/C++ programmers. maybe you can use functions from the libs in your java-applications, but i really don't know about java. actually it was and is C++

Any gui applications you develop using Java in Windows will transfer directly to Xwindows. You use the same Swing api's.
