Latest Release - Ver 1.1

What's New

New Aspose Java APIs - support is Added, in Aspose Project Wizard/Aspose API Examples for following new products:

  • Aspose.Diagram
  • Aspose.Tasks

MIT License added for free use

Further Enhancements and Revamp in v1.1: 

Progress Bars - Revamp:

  • Progress Bar bad practices were in Aspose Java for Eclipse Plugin, i.e Progress bar widget was used on Panel instead of Eclipse Platform API provided Progress monitor that shows the Progress bar on dialog and runs the long tasks i.e downloading in separate threads (background threads instead of UI thread). Because of this UI often behaves like hanging on downloading Aspose APIs i.e when some one click on UI while downloading it hangs the UI and even display title "not responding" on Aspose Project Wizard". Progress bar Bad practices were removed and Eclipse Platform API based fine grained Progress Monitor was configured to run while downloading Aspose APIs and creating Aspose Java API project.
  • Progress Bar was not present for downloading and populating Aspose API Examples, implemented Eclipse Platform API based fine grained Progress Monitor for downloading and populating scenarios of Aspose APIs examples.
  • Cancel button functionality was also implemented for Progress monitors so that user have option of cancelling the download in multiple selection scenario for Aspose Java APIs while downloading.

Bug Fixes and Code Optimization:

  • Functionality of Aspose API Examples for download sometimes not working because there are GIT related issues in code that requiring SSL Certificate because of using https:// instead of git:// for accessing Aspose API Examples repositories on GITHub, fixed the issues.
  • Some code logic was not of production quality and also not following Object Oriented Concepts i.e poorly organized, multiple responsibilities and no abstraction. Removed that code with production quality and optimized code.
  • Commented code for supporting Aspose.Metafile removed completely with some none commented code for Aspose.Metafile i.e Toot tips etc.
  • Code for Aspose.PDF Kit has been removed completely because the Aspose.PDF Kit is as a separate jar dependency of Aspose.Pdf API for Java is discontinued and it has been merged into Aspose.PDF for Java API itself.

UI Enhancements and Fixes:

  • UI widgets was also not behaving like as they should (as per GUI applications standards)  i.e on resizing UI parent component (dialog / parent panel), its containing widgets should also adjust its size / ratio according to its parent size, widgets were neither vertically nor horizontally resizing. Resizing  functionality for UI widgets implemented for Aspose Project Wizard and Aspose Examples Wizard / Dialogs
  • Tool tips also added for Aspose New Product APIs: Aspose.Diagram and Aspose.Tasks for Java, UI Widgets.
  • Wizard category name changed to "Aspose" and Descriptions added for Aspose Application/Project and Aspose Example Wizards.
