JxBrowser 2.0 EAP2 Announcement

JExcel Update

JxBrowser 2.0 Early Access Program

ComfyJ 2.7 Released

JNIWrapper 3.8 Released

OpenFaces AJAX-powered JSF components EAP2 Released

We are happy to announce the second early access (EAP2) release of the OpenFaces AJAX-powered JSF components. The EAP2 release is the last milestone before the version 2.0 release expected in late September. The EAP2 release adds a new Select Boolean Checkbox component, a number of enhancements, several API changes, and resolves issues reported by the developers during the initial evaluation of EAP1 release.

The Select Boolean Checkbox component introduced in this release is an extended version of the standard andlt;h:selectBooleanCheckboxandgt; component which adds tri-state support (two typical states and the third “undefined” one), allows for customizing checkbox images and state-dependent styles.

Following numerous requests from our users we’ve also added a new demo application, which shows how OpenFaces components can work together with RichFaces in one application. You can see this demo online, or download the demo and its source code.

Please see the release notes for the full list of enhancements.

Before the OpenFaces 2.0 is released, we also decided to extract a code of the testing system we use for automated tests of OpenFaces components and web applications we build into a separate project called Selenium Inspector. This testing framework, built on top of Selenium, allows testing not only JSF-based applications, but any HTML-based applications. So we felt this code may be useful for wider web development community as a separate project.

The module for testing OpenFaces is already included into the standard Selenium Inspector distribution, and can be downloaded here. The support of RichFaces and other popular JSF frameworks is going to be added after we release OpenFaces 2.0, and hopefully with your contribution.

Give OpenFaces EAP2 and Selenium Inspector a try and let us know what you think.

JxFileWatcher 1.0.1 Released

We are pleased to announce the first maintenance release of JxFileWatcher, a cross-platform library for file system events monitoring.

The update is already available for download. You can try the new version online using the WebStart Demo.

If you need assistance with using this product or if you want to discuss the library, welcome to our support forum.

Selenium Inspector 1.0 Released

We are happy to announce the release of Selenium Inspector, an open source library for simplifying automated testing for Web applications. Selenium Inspector is built on top of the popular Selenium testing framework, and enhances its abilities for component-oriented testing, and simplifies testing of any HTML-based applications as well.

Selenium Inspector API allows to create testing solutions for variety of HTML rendering frameworks like JSF component libraries, Spring MVC, Struts, etc. Now web developers can create object-oriented testing APIs for any Web UI library. The Java API for inspecting OpenFaces components is already included.

With Selenium Inspector you'll get the following advantages:

• Ability to check actual view of an element style instead of what is declared in CSS but may not be actually applied.
• Specialized higher-level Java API which simplifies inspection not just on primitive elements, but on compound HTML tags, such as ‹table›,‹ul›, etc.
• A wide set of assertion methods for checking actual values of attributes and styles of HTML elements as well as evaluating actual results of client side expressions.
• Selenium Inspector is easy to customize and extend.
• And its free!

The year 2006 starts with good news from the JNIWrapper team. Today we are releasing a comprehensive update for the whole product family! This includes:

• Major update for JExplorer
  JExplorer is now based on the JNIWrapper 3.0 core. This means that JExplorer is supplied with JNIWrapper and ComfyJ - so now you have a complete software package on hand.

JExcel Library Early Access Release

Today the JNIWrapper Team is proud to present the first Preview release of JExcel library.

JExcel is a library for integrating Microsoft Excel into Swing applications.

You can download JExcel, evaluate it during 30 days and submit us your comments or suggestions. By the time your trial version expires, we will update JExcel or will make it available for purchase.

See JExcel in action in Online Demo.

Your feedback on this Preview version is highly appreciated. Please use the support or feedback to contact developers if you have questions or suggestions regarding this new product.

JNIWrapper 3.0, ComfyJ 2.0 released

It's been a long way from version 2.0 to version 3.0. Since JNIWrapper 2.0 we’ve made more than 10 public releases and extended the product family with a new product — JExplorer.

This release is a big step for us and, hopefully, a leap forward for you. Now you can get full support for Mac OS X platform, employ more JNIWrapper features. Moreover, be ready to welcome ComfyJ — a new member of our Java integration product family that we are unleashing today!

You may wonder why ComfyJ starts its life from 2.0 version number and not 1.0?

Since its introduction in JNIWrapper 2.0, Java-to-COM integration has gained immense popularity among our customers. We felt that this functionality and its value to our customers deserved to have a life and release cycle of its own. Because the core of ComfyJ is extracted from JNIWrapper, we thought it would be reasonable to announce its debut as a separate product with version 2.0.

But we are not going to stop or even make a short break here. There are other products waiting in the line to be released. We are planning to update JExplorer quite soon and then release more new products that we are currently working on.

Welcome to TeamDev

As a result of MIIK Ltd. reorganization, two independent software development companies have been formed: Validio Ukraine and TeamDev Ltd.

Welcome to the TeamDev Ltd. company web site.

As a development company TeamDev will specialize in Java enterprise and desktop development and will continue developing products based on JNIWrapper technology. We are actively working on several new products that will be announced and rolled out really soon.

Please note that we are completing the transition period, so you may see traces of MIIK Ltd. at JNIWrapper site for some time.

Visit us soon for more news.

Welcome to a new version of the site

As you already know, we've expanded the pool of products, now carrying not only the JNIWrapper itself and WinPack, but also JExplorer and Mac OS X version of JNIWrapper, which we are going to release really soon (our apologies to those who we keep waiting). With several new products we are planning to introduce, we've realized that we need to re-think the web site organization and design.

The new design is probably the first thing that catches your eye. Take some time to scratch the surface and to try the new navigation that combines the "bread crumbs" technology with the site menu.

We would love to hear what you think of the new site. Drop us a line or speak at forums.

Additionally, this version provides the samples for integration with Carbon framework (analogue of Win32 API for Windows) and its visual components, such as Open/Save File, Choose Folder, Choose Color dialogs and Native Windows.

Also, in this version we have implemented the FileSystemWatcher class that uses kqueue and kevent system functions of Mac OS X kernel. This class is analogue of our FileSystemWatcher class that we already made on Windows platform.

NOTE: Integration with all visual Carbon components works correctly under JDK 1.3 only. Invocation of them under JDK 1.4 may fail and even crash a Java application. But all not-visual features of Carbon library will work correctly on both JDKs.

JNIWrapper 2.3 for Windows

We had a tough start of the year... Our customers, after refreshing holidays, submitted a good bunch of support requests to us. Some of them were interesting features requests and others were our drawbacks.

We made several delays of this version release willing to include as many changes as possible. Check the What's New page to see the list of major changes.

We mostly concentrated on COM support in this release and added enhancements to the run-time and code generation process that should make the integration easier. Thus, this is mostly a maintenance release with several useful features.

It appears that our documentation goes one step behind the development. We have started a massive update of our guides, samples, faqs and so on. And we are planning to concentrate on it later on.

Because of numerous support requests about integration with Microsoft Office applications, we have added appropriate samples into the distribution.

From now on, JNIWrapper 1.x for Windows is no longer available for purchase.

JNIWrapper 2.2 for Windows

Having analyzed the requests our support receives, we understood that it is important to provide an easy-to-use GUI utility for code generation. This release introduces the initial version of Code Generator for JNIWrapper with User Interface. To start the code generator with UI, simply start the Codegen.bat without parameters.

Also we have improved the OleContainer reliability and allowed inserting already created OLE component into the container.

Starting from this release, API documentation is distributed separately. You can download the complete documentation set at any time or access it online from the site.

Check the What's New page to see the list of all changes.

JNIWrapper 2.1 for Windows

Since the JNIWrapper 2.0 release we have received a great number of feedback on the new functionality. A number of problems has been found and many new interesting features suggested.

We are not standing still and continue making headway according to our plans revealed previously. Therefore, this new release introduces several enhancements to the existing API and fixes issues discovered after 2.0 release.

For more details about the changes, please refer to the What's New page.

IMPORTANT: Only a couple of days are left till promotional prices term for our product and upgrades expire. The regular prices become effective starting from December, 1. Hurry up!

JNIWrapper 2.0 Release Date

Probably, this is not exactly the message you expected to see on the JNIWrapper News channel. But we have to admit that the release of JNIWrapper 2.0 is already quite late from what was originally planned.

We were almost ready to release the JNIWrapper 2.0 for Windows which mainly brings new COM/OLE/ActiveX integration functionality along with other minor enhancements. But having done another critical overview of what we were going to publish, we decided that it is not as good as we want it to be.

During the last two weeks we have received a great volume of feedback on COM integration functionality introduced in Beta version and we keep receiving new comments. We would like to thoroughly address your requests.

Our intention is to make a new version of JNIWrapper a real step forward. Therefore, this news is not about the new version release but about its delay.

What are the enhancements we are working on now:

• Better JNIWrapper API documentation.
• More COM Integration examples in WinPack Demo (Internet Explorer and Shockwave Flash).
• Easier code generation.
• All depricated API removal.
• Customers feedback on Beta version processing.

All the changes listed above require another week of work.

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you all for your support and patience. Stay connected.

JNIWrapper 1.4 for Windows and Linux

JNIWrapper for Linux has now gained all the features previously added to Windows versions.The major reason why JNIWrapper for Windows was released as version 1.4 is to keep it synchronized with the Linux version. However, a number of changes has been recently made to the Windows version as well. For more details, check What's New in JNIWrapper 1.4.

Some nice features previously planned for 2.0 were added to version 1.4. One of them is a new ability of JNIWrapper to work inside WebStart application. Do not miss our Online WinPack Demo, which you can view without requesting any license keys.

We are pleased to announce two simultaneous releases: the release of JNIWrapper for Linux 1.1 and the update for JNIWrapper for Windows. JNIWrapper for Windows 1.1 is now available too. Both JNIWrapper versions are available for download and evaluation.

Registered owners of Version 1.0 will receive a Free 1.1 Update as well as all subsequent 1.x updates in the future.

The major reason why JNIWrapper for Linux was released as Version 1.1 is to keep it synchronized with the Windows version where a number of changes have been recently made. Check What's New in JNIWrapper 1.1.

Updated documentation is available in the Documentation section, where you can also find the version 1.0 to 1.1 API changes details.

NOTE: Evaluation keys for the previous Version 1.0 are not valid for Version 1.1. New keys should be obtained to evaluate JNIWrapper Version 1.1.

JNIWrapper for Linux 1.0 Beta is available for Download

We are glad to announce that the Beta version of JNIWrapper for Linux 1.0 is now available for evaluation. You can download JNIWrapper for Linux, evaluate it free of charge during 30 days and submit us your comments. By the time your trial version expires, JNIWrapper for Linux will be sure available for purchase.

NOTE: To prevent failures caused by memory access violations on the native code side, JNIWrapper for Linux employs the signal chaining feature available in JDK 1.4.x. Therefore, JNIWrapper for Linux requires JRE 1.4.x.

We consider development of a version that would run on JRE 1.3.x if there is a demand for that. If you need such version, please send your requests to jniwrapper-support@teamdev.com.

Do not forget to visit us every now and then for the updates of Linux version documentation, which will be published in the nearest future.

Site Updates
