Core components for Project Looking Glass

gui4j is a framework for describing Java Swing GUIs completely in XML. The graphical user interface is created dynamically based on the XML definitions. Each GUI window is associated with exactly one top-level XML file. Each XML file can ... [More] dynamically include other XML files to support complex GUI definitions. Each XML file is associated with a java object that acts as both a Controller and a Model for the GUI. There is a strong layer separation between the GUI and the Controller: GUI definitions in the XML files can access all Java methods of the Controller, but Java methods cannot access any GUI elements directly. Events are used to trigger changes in the GUI. [Less]

It aims to provide strict and *full* webstandard ... [More] compliance for XHTML with CSS 2.1 styling. Input is well-formed XML and styling/layout is done with CSS. Output is PDF, Swing panel (for interactive use), image files, and SWT support is being developed. As of the current release, R7, the library should support almost all of CSS 2.; limitations on CSS support are listed in the project issue tracker. [Less]

UFace provides a Universal API to create rich user interface applications on a variety of platforms such as the web via GWT or Java via Swing or Eclipse. UFace provides a thin facade above the various widget implementations, then uses JFace Data ... [More] Binding to bind your model objects to the user interface widgets. The primary targets are implementation for GWT (including 3rd party widgets from e.g. gwt-ext, MyGWT), SWT/JFace and Swing but the API should flexible enough to allow other widget libraries to provide their own facades such as for things like QT-Jambi or JGoodies.

BeanShield is a powerful Java library, that makes it easy to directly use your complex entity model in your UI (Web based and Client) without the need to copy or clone data to be able to rollback changes when a user clicks "Cancel".

The Chronicle framework provides complete register and memory-level recording of Linux processes and efficient queries over the recorded traces. Chronomancer builds on Chronicle by providing a UI for inspecting and querying traces --- effectively an ... [More] extremely powerful debugger. Chronomancer can display program state for any chosen point in time; find the last write to any given memory location; display the execution path taken through a function (no more stepping!); display correct call stacks in the presence of tail calls or stack corruption; and much more! Chronomancer supports debugging C and C++ programs with DWARF2/3 debug information such as is generated by gcc. It is implemented in Java as an Eclipse plugin and can integrate with the Eclipse CDT. It offers extension points so other plugins can define new commands, views, event queries, and custom data renderers. Chronomancer is small, about 10K lines of code, quite new, and has many rough edges and missing features. (There are many features that would be easy to add that no other debugger has ever offered.) However, it can already be used to debug interesting problems; it has already been used to successfully analyze a difficult Firefox garbage collection bug. Chronomancer is released with the permission of the Mozilla Foundation. Thanks MF! [Less]

In GWT application those layers can be shared between client and server as follows: On client-side: presentation layer business logic layer data access interfaces (GWT-RPC Client), data classes On server-server: data access layer implementation (GWT-RPC server) database The scheme below clearly shows the dependence between packages of each layer on client and server sides. Component scheme of GWT application architecture based on GWT-PF. Source code allocation example (click on scheme to view full size image). GWT-PF role in GWT applicationA typical requirement for information systems is the development of a large number of similar reference books and forms for data manipulation. These elements are presentation layer components. There are two general approaches to develop them: Creating of separate classes which represents visual component for each form. Creating universal visual components that can represent any form of the system. The obvious is the fact that the first variant more labor for a large system. gwt-pf-ui package is a set of universal visual components, which can be used to display almost any reference books and forms. So when building a system it is possible to use those components, significantly reducing the resources for the development of a presentation layer. Visual components in gwt-pf-ui works with the business logic via interfaces of gwt-pf-core package. The implementation of business logic and data access layer of the application ill be presented by set of classes implementing interfaces from gwt-pf-core. Rapid development with GWT-PFIt is obvious that gwt-pf-ui is profitable in terms of code reuse and mostly implemented presentation layer. Moreover the existence of business logic interface with gwt-pf-core applies tested business logic development methodology. [Less]
