wxWidgets isn't bad, but for serious, heavy-UI applications, Qt is far, far
better.  Its QtCreator IDE & debugger isn't bad either, and is easy to get
started with.  And QtDesigner, its drag-n-drop UI developer, is one of the few
such tools I've seen that generates useful code.  Good stuff.

May I ask, what kind of applications are you developing that require native
code, and for which Java is too slow?  These days, device drivers,
graphically-intense video games, and computationally-expensive scientific apps
are about the only things I can think of that require native code... and with
good wrapper libraries, even most of those are questionable.
