Hi all! Have you ever seen the nice Jabaco project (http://www.jabaco.org/) ? It have nide advantages and horrible disadvantages. The advantages are - You creates programs in a VisualBasic 6 like language and it compiles to the JavaVM. - It have a nice GUI. Like NetBeans Matisse. But easier and it runs faster. - The framework is OpenSouce under the BSD-license: http://www.jabaco.org/index.php?page=doc - It is very easy to create little programs. For example draw a Slider and a Label. With Public Sub Slider1_Change() Label1.Caption = Slider1.Value End Sub the Label have anytime the current Slider-Value as text. It is so easy to develop with it. - So long as the beta-phase exists, it is Freeware. The disadvantages are - Jabaco is closed source. - It is itself written in VB6. So the IDE and the compiler are currently platform-dependent. - The IDE can not be extended with Java-code like Java-Beans, because it isn't written in Java. - Because the author wants to make money with it in the future, you have to register yourself with your EMail-address to have a Jabaco without limitations: http://www.jabaco.org/register.html Try it out! Possible some people here finding it interesting and planing to rewrite it as OpenSource in Java. ^^ Greatings theuserbl Fotos, Musik …Dateien versenden – ganz einfach, ohne Limit mit Windows Live Messenger |
