v0.8.45
First preview release

You've heard about it, it was first demonstrated on Nov. 12th during Servoy Camp in Denham (by Mister P.!), now you will find here everything you need to try it yourself.

 

It is currently working in Servoy 5 only, check the pdf FAQ below to know what platform/OS/java are currently supported and what to expect of this version.

 

The suite is released as Open Source under the terms of the LGPL license .

 

The suite is relying heavily on the powerful DJ-NativeSwing project from Christopher Deckers (also released under LGPL license) and uses various other projects, mainly Eclipse SWT (EPL 1.0 license) and the XULRunner engine (MPL). The JNA project (LGPL License) is also used internally by DJ-NativeSwing, and for the HtmlEditor the FCKEditor or CKEditor (triple license GPL, LGPL and MPL for both) or TinyMCE inline JavaScript editors can be used as well.

 

The browser suite contains :

• a web browser bean,
   
• a flash player bean,
   
• a html editor bean,
   
• a client plugin to rule them all,
   
• a server plugin for configuration,
   
• an installer to help deployment.

 

Before use, please make sure to read the PDF FAQ as it will explain how to install and use and what to expect exactly.

Download packages:

- the PDF FAQ please read carefully!
- the The PDF documentation
- the installer (rename to .jar if needed) - beware, this is big: 56.6 Mb!
- a Servoy example solution for Servoy 5 (rename to .servoy if needed and import)

There is not yet an Eclipse Project (in fact this thing is so big that there are several Eclipse project, working together), but I will soon put all the sources and instructions on a google-code site or sourceforge.net site to give SVN or CVS access to developers who would like to help and or would like to extend it to their own need...

KNOW BUGS/LIMITATIONS:

Please consult the FAQ for this.
