Seedlet / Matt's SeedBlog: Recent posts

Whoa. LOTS of new stuff here now. Also lots of bug fixes, subtle and otherwise. I've been working on other projects and they will continue to occupy most of my time now. Books aren't selling so I'm looking into other avenues so Seedlet development probably won't be quick.
I also wrote and uploaded a basic User's Guide. It should be fairly close to the current release. I tried to keep things synchronized but, as always, the javadoc is the final authority.

Seedlet is AWT-based and, besides the GUI, contains a lot of machinery 'under the hood' to simplify application development. It was written to be used (but not limited to) three ways:

1. A development platform for independently-deployed APIs. Include Seedlet code while developing and then, when the application is ready, simply delete the Seedlet code or instruct your compiler to ignore it.
2. A simple GUI front-end for command-line or web-based APIs. Write a Seedlet to use the desired API and make sure the code can "see" it.
3. A GUI framework for standalone applications. This is the most efficient use of Seedlet. It makes such things as CardLayouts, JDBC and JSR-223 scripting simple and painless to include.... read more
