Foxtrot is an easy and powerful API to use threads with the JavaTM Foundation Classes (JFC/Swing).
The Foxtrot API are based on a new concept, the Synchronous Model, that allow you to easily integrate in your Swing code time-consuming operations without incurring in "GUI-freeze" problem, typical of Swing applications.
While other solutions have been developed to solve this problem, being the SwingWorker (see also here for an update) the most known, they are all based on the Asynchronous Model which, for non-trivial Swing applications, carries several problems such as code asymmetry, bad code readability and difficult exception handling.
The Foxtrot API cleanly solves the problems that solutions based on the Asynchronous Model have, and it's simpler to use.
Your Swing code will immediately benefit of:
* code symmetry and readability
* easy exception handling
* improved mantainability
We all know how long it can take to learn a new DTD, XML schema, or an object model for an object-relational mapping. Some of these documents can be 20 pages or longer, and while XML is undoubtedly useful, let's face it - reading through 20 pages of XML is not a walk in the park.
This is why we created Linguine Maps.
Linguine Maps is an open-source Java library that conducts programmatic visualization of various text files, generating from them easy-to-understand entity-relation diagrams. With a diagram it will take you and your team minutes now, instead of perhaps hours, to get familiar with new schema, object-relational mappings, or DTDs. And you can always go back to the source files when more details are needed. Curious what this looks like? There is an image gallery with many samples!
All diagrams produced by the Linguine Maps are precise reflection of the source code. There is absolutely no manual work! It is fully automatic! Try it online now!
In this release we support programmatic visualization for:
* WSDL; for these files we draw relations between service, ports and port types
* Apache ANT build files; for these files we draw task dependency diagrams
* Document Type Definition (DTD) for XML documents; for these files we draw relations between various entities and their attributes
* Apache ObJectRelationBridge (OJB) mapping files; for these files we draw UML-style class diagrams
* Hibernate mapping files; for these files we draw UML-style class diagrams
Programmatic visualization offers a very effective communication tool for software development teams. Integrated into the build process?, it helps to keep documentation up to date automatically. All members of your development team now can have a common set of visual documents, constructed automatically from the source code. The idea was floating around for a while, but we find that our approach has a key advantage.
Java SwingBuilder is an implementation of a Java Builder geared towards building UI interfaces using Java Swing.
Details
The main class is org.javabuilders.swing.SwingBuilder. It loads the object definition from a YAML file that is in the same package and has the same base name as the calling Java class. So, if you're building org.test.MyFrame.java it will look for org.test.MyFrame.yaml for the object build file (similar to the convention the Apache Wicket web framework uses).
For Java developers writing GUI layouts by hand that wants simplicity, power and automatic per platform fidelity, that are dissatisfied with the current layout managers in Swing and SWT, MiGLayout solves all your layout problems. Unlike JGoodies' FormLayout and Clearthought's TableLayout - MiGLayout solves all your layouts with equal ease in a way that is easy to change and maintain. You will understand how the layout will look like when looking at the code.
MiGLayout is the most versatile and flexible Swing and SWT Layout Manager for Java, yet it is very easy to learn and use. It is using String or API type-checked constraints to format the layout. MiGLayout can produce flowing, grid based, absolute (with links), grouped and docking layouts. You will never have to switch to another layout manager ever again! MiGLayout is created to be to manually coded layouts what Matisse/GroupLayout is to IDE supported visual layouts.
jQuery UI provides abstractions for low-level interaction and animation, advanced effects and high-level, themeable widgets, built on top of the jQuery JavaScript Library, that you can use to build highly interactive web applications.
View providers driven applications(vpda) is java based application framework for building applications composed from server components - view providers. View providers are server components which define user interface and user control. Client platform is just presentation engine, there is never any concrete application logic there. VPDA is 4 tier apllication framework with all needed infrastructure. This means communication between client and server, server management, deployment.

Software development tool designed for computer users to give them the ability to create any software they need without previous knowledge of computer programming where the user will start to learn how to program and will understand the programming concepts using this tool step by step and without the need to write code by hand at all where the programming done through general purpose visual programming languages. Unlike other visual programming languages, PWCT is not limited and target also professional and mainstream programmers by giving them more productivity than traditional text-based programming languages. Programming Without Coding Technology is a Free-Open Source Visual Programming Languages Framework to create new General Purpose Visual Programming Languages (VPLs) that are a practical alternative to Text based Programming Languages (TPLs). PWCT comes with four general purpose visual programming languages (HarbourPWCT, PythonPWCT, C#PWCT, and SupernovaPWCT).
Mockups2Android is the missing link between UX design and development. You’ve created the perfect Android UX using Balsamiq Mockups but before spending the time and money having a developer produce it, you want to try it out in front of the client. Showing them using a laptop or pieces of paper just isn’t working. Mockups2Android will.
Mockups2Android (m2a) is an Android application that reads your Balsamiq Mockup files and creates your UX on the phone or tablet, using real Android controls and using the real data you entered. Imagine being able to let your client actually try out your design on a phone, letting them navigate through screens, enter text, scroll through lists, interact with maps and much more. With m2a it’s all possible. If you want to move a button or introduce a whole new screen into the flow, you can do it in seconds by making the changes in Mockups and m2a will do the rest. No code, no time, just the perfect prototyping tool. All screen sizes are supported.
