developing a GUI for solaris 10

[DuceDuceExplorer]

I am developing a GUI on solaris 10 at work and am wondering if it would be easer to dl netbeans for solaris machine and code on that or is the exe that is made in netbeans on an windows based pc easily transported to solaris?

Have a look at the Netbeans site. Netbeans is available for Windows, Linux and Solaris and no - you would not be using a .exe to run on Solaris(unless you have an emulator of some sort). Once you have it installed, it maybe be possible to transfer over your personalized Netbeans settings from the Windows platform to the Solaris platform... once again, check with their site.

i knew it was available for both os's i guess i should have said this or asked this "if i code in netbeans in windows will i be able to load my program onto the solaris 10 machine and have the program run as a stand alone entity outside of the ide?"

Java is meant to be platform independent. That's the beauty of this language.
