JEasy 3.0 as shareware and for commercial use --- JEasy 2.4 is OpenSource under GPL

JEasy 3.0 is the new enhanced generation writing Swing applications. And there is a new home:

Please have a look at www.javacooking.com

• more performance
• advanced team work
• enables cloning of jeasy objects
• opportunities to create GUI components dynamically
• uses the java locale to switch language or customer specific rules at runtime
• new events for context help
• offers a predefined statusbar
• more quality in your source using constants
• needs and uses java 1.5 or higher

JEasy 3.0 is realeased since June of 2009!

Summary JEasy 2.4

• JEasy is the easiest way to create windows-like java-programs and applets for JAVA platforms
• JEasy uses the Swing components
• All GUI components are stored in an XML file
• Use the JEasy Repository to define all components and forms. Use the preview to see the result at once
• Import the library jeasy.jar to build the GUI with a few lines of code
• Use JEasy messages to bring XML in your forms and vice versa
• Use the JEasy automation api to test your application
• Try out different look&feels with colors, gradient paint, texture paint and themes
• Define methodinvocations in XML and use them in your business objects at the server
• Use the new project wizard to build your first application

Download JEasy version 2.4

JEasy Version 2.4 works best with the JAVA^TM 2 SDK v 1.4 to v 1.6.0_05 download from http://www.java.sun.com/j2se/

The JEasy Repository is the greatest tool to design Swing GUI's. The preview shows the layout at once.

What is new in JEasy version 2.4

• JEasy is now Open Source under the GPL License

What is new in JEasy version 2.3

• Multiple filter for JETable columns
• New JEFormat to format fields (date, currency, ...) when serializing and deserializing in messages
• New properties in treenode to define closedIcon, leafIcon and openIcon for each node
• New menu Refactor in the JEasyRepository to delete all objects without a reference to other objects
• Mandatory propertie for input objects. When the examine method of those objects is called it returns an error if the input field is not filled with data
• New method examineMessage() for JEMessage. For all input objects the method examine() is called. The method returns a XML String containing the JEasyId and the error. Using this method it is very easy to check all input fields defined in a JEMessage
• Register your own JECallBack to a panel. All events are send to this class. This helps to write source code for the GUI by several developpers
• JEButton: new properties rolloverBackground and rolloverForeground
• JEAutomation: new method waitmsec to delay some msec.
• JEAutomation: new method selectTabbedPane to select a panel of the tabbedPane.
• JETabbedPane: setSelectedObject to select a panel of the tabbedPane.
• JETable: new methods int getColumnWidth(int col), TableColumn getColumn(int col)
• JEDynamicContainer: enhanced interface
• JEHttpConnector: checks for timeout of a session

BugFixes in Version 2.3

• Sum of negativ values.
• a lot of more

What we are working for the next versions

• Redesign of the jeasy classes to reduce code for faster loading
• Clone of jeasy objects
• Building applications out of a description of business objects and properties
• Small xml database
• Storing objects in a database for simultan work in one project
• JEasy server for developing in groups
• ...

Projects with JEasy:

• the German Post uses JEasy in a Client/Server project

• over 200 hundred panels were designed within a few months

• the JEasy Thin Client was built out of less than 3.000 lines of code

• JEasy XML-messages out of panels are send by RMI

• the GUI out of 500 JEasy components is stored in an XML file

An example project in different layout

• All GUI elements are designed with the Repository
