[tcljava-user] Aejaks 0.4 Released

[Tom P. <tpo...@ny...>]

Jacl-powered Ajax programming.

Not quite in time for Christmas/Hanukkah/Winter Solstice/etc for 
all of the good Jacl'ers out there, so here is my New Year's gift instead.


This is the first public release of Aejaks, and should be considered
alpha quality. This means that things basically work (at least for me.)
Expect to find bugs and design issues. The release includes a primary
set of widgets and two sample applications.

AEJAKS: http://aejaks.sf.net

ABOUT:
Aejaks combines the server-side Ajax windowing system Echo2 with the powerful
simplicity of the Tcl langauge.  The result is a rich development environment
in which to develop Ajax-based web applications, often with much less code to 
write.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:
Aejaks stands on the shoulders of giants, and would not be possible
without the contributions of a host of very talented programmers:

  Echo2:       Tod Liebeck, NextApp
  Tcl:         John Ousterhout, Tcl Core Team
  Jacl:        Ioi Lam, Brian Smith, Sun Microsystems, Inc., Mo DeJong
  IncrTcl:     Michael J. McLennan, Mo DeJong
  Jetty:       Greg Wilkins, Mort Bay Consulting
  Clcms:       Jelte Jansen
  EchopointNG: Brad Bakerman


DOWNLOAD:  
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=184611
or http://sourceforge.net/projects/aejaks

Two packages are available, either in .tar.gz or .zip format.
Those that have the notation '-full' are ready-to-run, containing
the Jetty servlet engine and full local documentation. 

You should probably download the '-full' version, unless you
already have Jetty 6.x.  Python is required to regenerate the
local website & documentation.


DOCUMENTATION:
See: ./website/out/index.html
This is a local copy of the website, including all documentation to related
software.  Only available if you downloaded the '-full' version.
Otherwise, surf on over to http://aejaks.sf.net.


QUICK START:
You will need Java 1.5 or higher installed.  If you are reading this, 
then you probably already un-tarred or un-zipped the distribution file.

  tar zxf aejaks-x.y-full.tar.gz 
  unzip aejaks-x.y-full.zip
  winzip ...etc...

  unix/linux:
    sh run.sh 
    firefox http://localhost:8080

  windows
    run.bat
    start http://localhost:8080

If you downloaded the 'regular' distribution, you will need to also
download jetty-6.0.1 (or newer) from http://jetty.mortbay.com, and 
unpack in the top-level aejaks-x.y directory.  Build files and run 
scripts expect ./jetty-6.0.1, so you may have to adjust the scripts 
if you download a newer version of jetty.
