2005-04-08 Mogwai FormMaker available

The new brand new first version of Mogwai FormMaker is available for download.

Mogwai FormMaker is a visual form editing tool for developing Swing forms using the JGoodies FormLayout. Using this tool you can fast and easily develop rich client forms.

Since FormLayout is a grid based layout, you can create consistent and good looking forms. More about FormLayout and it’s features can be read at www.jgoodies.com.

The FormMaker contains two powerful modules : a visual editor for rapid form development. The second part is a Java source generator. This generator will create all the Java classes for you.

Mogwai FormMaker stores it’s design information in a xml based file. This file can easily be interpreted and adapted to even more enhance your development process. Thus, FormMaker can be freely extended.

2005-03-24 Mogwai SwingFramework available

The new brand new first version of Mogwai SwingFramework is available for download.

Mogwai SwingFramework is a MVC framework for building Java2 Swing - based applications. It is meant to implement the same functionalities like Struts for J2EE and Web - based applications.

Coding Swing applications the old way means that do do a lot of direct coupling of your components. There is no clean separation of data model, controller logic and presentation. Everything is wired together using the Swing event framework and implementing business logic directly into your classes.

Implementing design principles like loose coupling of components or separation of concerns is hard to code and almost not supported by todays available development tools. Using SwingFramework, you CAN do loose coupling and use your favorite development environment. You implement your controller logic and data model in simple POJO's ( Plain Old Java Objects ) and everything else is wired together using the SwingFramework and some configuration files.

SwingFramework behaves like an IoC ( Inversion Of Control ) container. It uses dependency injection mechanism and a lot of Java reflections to couple components together. This couping is configured in xml based configuration files.

  • Swing based IoC
  • True MVC
  • Easy use
  • Highly extensible
  • Free

    2003-06-23 Mogwai ER-Designer 0.5 release candidate 1 available

    The Mogwai ERDesigner is a entity relation modeling tool such as ERWin and co. The only difference is that it is Open Source and does not cost anything. It was designed to make database modeling as easy as it can be and to support the developer in the whole development process, from database design to schema and code generation. This tool was also designed to support a flexible plug in architecture, to extend the system simply by installing a new plug in. This way, everybody can implement new features and tools to make ERDesigner fit the requirements.

    ERDesigner

  • can design database models using a powerfull and easy to use graphical editor
  • can generate database schema for the most common databases such as MySQL and Oracle
  • can maintain schema changes using the IVT (Intelligent version tracking) system. No more buggy complete compare!
  • can Generate EJB Entity bean code ( XDoclet ready! )
  • provides a powerfull plug in architecture for flexibility to the limits


  • The sources and binaries are available here.

    2003-06-11 Mogwai ER-Designer 0.3 available

    2002-10-22 Project Mogwai released

    Today, modern sofware development is not easy. The software needs to be fast, easy to maintain, robust, safe and also cheap. To realize these goals, the software developer needs to have different skills. He or she needs to be good in user interface design, data manipulation, inter process communication and all purposes of object oriented software design and development. In addition, the developer must be able to develop application in multiple languages, such as Java or C++.

    Project Mogwai was founded to help the developer with all these things. Currently, Mogwai provides a common framework for building multi - tiered software. There are three main parts of this framework. The first part is the thin - client abstraction layer. It provides a C++ class library such as Borland's VCL for easy and fast user interface design. The only difference between other GUI frameworks is that all visual components are rendered by a Java thin - client software. All the application code is written in c++, but the presentation layer is written in Java. So, the presentation of the application can be seen on every computer that supports the Java runtime environment. The second part is the MVC layer. This layer is responsible to communicate with the presentation layer and delegate user actions to the correct implementation. The third part is the application server. Each Mogwai application runs on this application server. There is definitly no code executed on the client side.

    The Mogwai framework helps the developer to create fast and stable applications in a minimum amount of time.

    The initial release sources are available in the download section. Feel free to contact me for support or troubleshooting. Have fun!
