ObjectShare delivers powerful framework for rapid development of graphical Java applications; jKit/GO provides high-performance, flexible framework for direct graphic object manipulation; fully compatible with JDK 1.1.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 1997--ObjectShare today announced the release of jKit/GO, a powerful framework for creation of graphical Java applications. jKit/GO enables developers to go beyond simple text, tables and buttons by using graphical objects to create visually appealing, intuitive and interactive Internet applications, including business graphics, network diagrams, drawing editors, workflow or program diagrams, engineering graphics, PERT PERT An acronym for program evaluation and review technique; a planning, scheduling, and control procedure based upon the use of time-oriented networks which reflect the interrelationships and dependencies among the project tasks (activities). charts, etc. The framework is fully compatible with JDK (Java Development Kit) A Java software development environment from Sun. It includes the JVM, compiler, debugger and other tools for developing Java applets and applications. Each new version of the JDK adds features and enhancements to the language. 1.1, and includes a wide range of royalty-free, 100% pure Java Refers to initiatives from Sun that specify 100% compliance with its Java specification. The goal is to maintain a consistent, single interface for Java so that all Java Virtual Machines can run all Java programs. See Holy Grail. Graphic Objects and tools, as well as built-in coordinate system coordinate system Arrangement of reference lines or curves used to identify the location of points in space. In two dimensions, the most common system is the Cartesian (after René Descartes) system. controls and display list management. Retail pricing for jKit/GO 1.1 -- including royalty-free use of all included Java objects -- is $149 (source code version $499). The software is available through retailers, online stores and mail order catalogs, as well as directly from ObjectShare (www.objectshare.com). A full-featured trial version is now available for free download from the ObjectShare web site. "jKit/GO is ideal for developers who need serious direct manipulation graphics, supplying developers with the power they need to create virtually any type of simple or complex graphical UI," explained Lisa Giefer, general manager for ObjectShare. "Not only do the graphic objects in jKit/GO make software more appealing and intuitive, the framework enables easy creation of interactive applications without requiring modification of existing code. jKit/GO establishes the possibility for developers to rapidly create `production quality' graphical Internet applications." Powerful Features for Developing Graphical Applications jKit/GO offers a number of features and capabilities that make it a flexible, time-saving tool for developing graphical Java applications. Key aspects of jKit/GO include: 100% Java jKit/GO is built entirely on native Java classes. It is fully compatible with JDK 1.1, enabling jKit/GO to be used with PARTS for Java, Visual Cafe A family of Java development products formerly from the WebGain division of Symantec and sold to TogetherSoft Corporation in 2002, which was acquired by Borland in 2003. Versions for Windows and the Macintosh were available that included a host of Java components and features for rapidly , Visual J++, JBuilder, Visual Age for Java, SuperCede Verb 1. supercede - take the place or move into the position of; "Smith replaced Miller as CEO after Miller left"; "the computer has supplanted the slide rule"; "Mary replaced Susan as the team's captain and the highest-ranked player in the school" and any other IDEs compatible with JDK 1.02 and 1.1 compilers. No source code modifications are required to move from JDK 1.02 to 1.1. Event-Based Architecture jKit/GO uses a JDK 1.1-style event architecture to control the interaction between the graphic objects and the domain model. This decouples the user interface from the underlying domain model, enabling the easy creation of completely interactive applications without any modification of the underlying code. Direct manipulation of an application's objects by the user (dragging, clicking, etc.) translates automatically into changes of state for the underlying domain objects. Graphic Object Library jKit/GO includes a wide range of visual objects such as figures, Bezier paths, host buttons and more. The product enables the creation of composite graphic objects, which are arbitrary collections of objects grouped to behave as one. The resulting graphic objects can be utilized from other frameworks or IDEs. Coordinate System Control A coordinate system control is included in jKit/GO, enabling developers to handle scaling, zooming and automatic mapping from world units to pixels. Display List Management jKit/GO also offers display list management for easy control of large or complex collections of graphics objects.
