Agile Ajax

Pre Thanksgiving Ajax Roundup

Dietrich Kappe, Wednesday, November 22, 2006 @ 11:45 am

Just a few bits of news heading into the Thanksgiving Holiday (for non-American readers, this is the holiday where our inlaws try to kill us by overfeeding us and family members take up old feuds with one another while watching American football on TV):

  • The HSE (Hibernate, Spring, Echo2) framework continues to take strides in it's development with it's Beta 2 release. Lots of reorganization and cleanup of the code. Plenty of good stuff for the definition and management of screens, etc. He's looking for volunteers, so if you're interested, drop him a line.
  • The folks at the OpenJACOB online workflow editor have been developing a Javascript 2D diagraming library. In a brief look through the code, it doesn't seem to be based on any other frameworks -- which can be a good thing or a bad thing -- but it seems to be very flexible, more of a toolkit for building visio-like interfaces than a widget. It's still rough at the moment, but could be adapted into other projects.

  • Debasish has penned a thoughtful blog entry on developing with Echo2 -- in short, he doesn't like writing 'naked Swing' and doesn't want to do the same in Echo2. He has a bunch of good suggestions and provocative thoughts in his post. I think one of the easier ones to implement would be a port of the Groovy SwingBuilder to Echo2. I've always liked SwixML for Swing, but it hasn't taken off as much as Groovy for this stuff.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I'm off to enjoy the curried goat and turkey.
