  Xoetrope launches XUI 2.0, open source rich-client framework


          5th-October-2005

XUI 2.0, the latest open source release of the Java and XML rich-client 
framework brings even greater flexibility and ease of use to the task of 
building desktop applications. Helping to return value to the desktop, 
as Jonathan Schwartz terms it, XUI 2.0 now ships with KalIIDEoscope, a 
brand new NetBeans plug-in that allows visual construction of 
rich-client applications. In tandem with these releases we have 
completely revamped the XUI website which now features new 
documentation, tutorials, hints, tips and developer support services.

XUI can now be used to build almost everything you need in a rich-client 
application from the simplest to the most complex of applications and 
from personal to enterprise level applications. You can build connected 
or standalone applications to make the best use of available 
communications while providing productive features for your 
application's users.

With the introduction of a Synth and SVG based Look and Feel adding to 
XUI's existing stylesheets and the ability to add third party components 
you can build highly sophisticated and visually attractive applications. 
XUI even features a new layout manager, the GuideLayout to make form 
design even more intuitive.

Within the KalIDEoscope editor the power of NetBeans is harnessed to 
deliver full-featured rapid application development and some of the best 
editing and debugging support possible. Better again, XUI is an open 
source framework built in a modular fashion so you can use just those 
parts that suit your needs and making integration and extension a breeze.
