ULC Visual Editor 2.0 for Eclipse Released
Canoo completes porting of Visual Editor to new Eclipse framework
Basel, Switzerland (PRWEB) June 30, 2004 -- Canoo Engineering today announced
the release of ULC Visual Editor 2.0 for Eclipse (http://www.canoo.com/ulc/products/ulcvisualeditor.html). The
Visual Editor is a "drag-and-drop" GUI designer plug-in for UltraLightClient. It
supports developing rich thin GUIs for J2EE applications, providing developers
with real-time feedback during interface design.
Following its decision
in November 2003 to participate in the Eclipse Visual Editor project, the Swiss
company decided to port ULC Visual Editor to the new Eclipse visual GUI
construction and editor platform. Canoo's GUI designer is the first software
tool that is based on the Eclipse Visual Editor project.
About
UltraLightClient
UltraLightClient (ULC) is a Java library that provides thin
client support for Swing, the standard component library for rich Java clients.
Using this library, server-side J2EE applications offer rich Swing-based
graphical user interfaces in a thin-client architecture.
ULC shields the
developer from the complexities of client/server code distribution by taking
care of the code split. The application is deployed on the server, while an
application-independent presentation engine handles the user interface on the
client. The presentation engine can be run as an applet or distributed by
JNLP.
Based on open standards, ULC easily integrates with any J2EE
software. It provides developers with a homogeneous Java environment and speeds
up both development and deployment of client/server
applications.
Software Requirements
ULC Visual Editor 2.0 requires the
following software:
- Eclipse 2.1.2 or Eclipse 2.1.3
- Eclipse Visual
Editor 0.5.0
- UltraLightClient 5.1.3 or higher
- JRE 1.3.1 and
higher
Pricing
ULC Visual Editor 2.0 costs US$ 499.- per developer
license and can be purchased directly from the product web site. A free
evaluation license is available for 30 days.
Developers using Eclipse can
now benefit from this new ULC tool. In addition, Canoo offers a client/server
simulator and a load and performance tester for ULC.
