Yes, because Qt is natively compiled C++, not OS independant bytecode.. You
could always package all the platforms together at the cost of a bigger
download. There's also the OS X 64 bit problem but it will be solved with Qt
4.5 that will be released next month.

Very active. Well, Qt is because Jambi is just a Java wrapper around Qt.
Look at what's new in the next release:

I think the native support for ODF files is very exciting.

And the previous version 6 months ago introduced better concurency:

Qt is rather rapidly progressing. But if you have trouble finding doc, look
for Qt itself since the classes and concepts are the same.

And the official Jambi doc is quite good:
