The final release of XUI 1.0.4 is now available
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/xui).
 
XUI is an open source Java and XML framework for building rich client,
desktop and mobile applications. The framework can save you up to 60% of the
code typically needed to build an application. The result is real savings in
development time, maintenance costs and provides greater stability and
flexibility.
 
XUI 1.0.4 brings many new features and enhancements, notably:
- Integrated database access
- New and enhanced widgets
- Dynamic attribute evaluation
- Extended event handling
- XML based component registration
- Background image loading
- Updated component factories
- Modified layout manager support
- More advanced validation mechanisms
- Linux support
 
In addition to the enhancements this release includes numerous fixes and
performance enhancements. 
 
XUI is delivered in a variety of packages:
- XuiAll.jar, includes all the class files for XUI and the optional packages
plus the XuiEditor
- XuiCore.jar, the core set of class files using the AWT widget set
- XuiCoreSwing.jar, the core set of class files using the Swing widget set
- XuiCore118.jar, the core set of class files using the AWT widget set and
compiled for JDK 1.1.8
- XuiOptional.jar, the optional packages including the database access
classes
- xui-src-1.0.4.zip, the source code for the entire release
 
A second set of jars is also available containing full debug information and
extra logging code. These jars are
- XuiAllDebug.jar, includes all the class files for XUI and the optional
packages plus the XuiEditor
- XuiCoreDebug.jar, the core set of class files using the AWT widget set
- XuiCoreSwingDebug.jar, the core set of class files using the Swing widget
set
- XuiOptionalDebug.jar, the optional packages including the database access
classes
 
Further documentation can be found at:
- http://xui.sourceforge.net, the project website.
- http://xui.sourceforge.net/xui104/index.html, XUI 1.0.4 release notes.
- http://xui.sourceforge.net/docs/api/, API documentation for XUI 1.0.4.
- http://xui.sourceforge.net/gallery/gallery.html, a gallery of XUI
applications.
 
The XuiAll package contains a simple editor for XUI, however this is being
replaced by a NetBeans based IDE. The latest version of this IDE can also be
found on the SourceForge site at:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=76693&package_id=12676
4. The NetBeans editor provides all the facilities of the previous editor
and leverages the support provided by NetBeans 3.6 to give a more powerful
development environment.
 
Xoetrope also offers documentation for its Carousel framework which extends
XUI and the NetBeans XuiEditor. This documentation provides extensive
coverage of the XUI framework and provides detailed information on related
development issues such as packaging and deployment. A draft of this
documenation can be found at:
http://xui.sourceforge.net/docs/CarouselUserGuide.pdf
 
XUI 1.0.4 is released under a modified form of the Mozilla Public License.
Previous versions had been released under the Artistic License and following
expressions of concern by several people we have moved to the new license.
The license can be found at: http://xui.sourceforge.net/docs/license.txt
 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated
in the test program and provided valuable feedback.
 
Enjoy!
