JBuilder Update News


The online resource for up-to-the-minute JBuilder news straight from the R&D team.  This site is here because we recognize that even a short development cycle is a long time to wait for more information about the best JavaTM development environment available.

Apr 18 2000 - Downloadable Keybinding Examples: Including Brief!

Thanks to Keimpe we now have three examples of custom keybindings for JBuilder. Source and binaries are included, as are instructions for getting them up and running.

The UserEmacs and UserCUA examples are a great place to start tailoring the existing keybindings to your taste, and the UserBrief example adds a much requested editor emulation that was missing from the all-Java JBuilder editions. Enjoy!

Apr 3 2000 - Massive OpenTools Updates

The OpenTools Concepts page now links to a new conceptual overview of the JBuilder archicture. In addition to the architectural overview, there are also ten new conceptual guides to specific areas of the OpenTools API available through links in the overview.

The OpenTools API page now includes a link to preliminary documentation for JOT. Those of you looking for JOT information (and you know who you are) now have access to descriptions of the low-level API.

To make these updates more accessible, the Downloads page now includes the option to download a snapshot of the full JBuilder Update web site.

Mar 7 2000 - Dead Air is a Good Thing

When I'm silent for long periods of time it usually means I'm travelling to spread the word about JBuilder or I've been buried in secret projects. This time, as it happens, it's both. Still, I've found a spare moment to put together some information about a new topic and an OpenTool to demonstrate it, so drop by the articles page and have a look.

Jan 18 2000 - Two New Sections and a New Article

The OpenTools Concepts area provides more depth on topics already covered by tutorials, and already includes a draft of the OpenTools Loader Concepts. The OpenTools API is a full online set of JavaDoc detailing the classes that make up the OpenTools API.

After you've checked those over don't forget to stop by the articles section to check out the in-depth goodies on JBuilder Dependency Checker.

Jan 10 2000 - The JBuilder Update Goes Live!

The first feature article "The JBuilder Foundation Philosophy" and OpenTools tutorial "JBuilder OpenTools Basics" are available.  More articles will follow and we'll make samples avaiable via the downloads area from time to time.  Welcome aboard!  The fun is just beginning...
