The new brand new version of Mogwai ERDesigner and FormMaker are available for download. The new release includes enhancements to the user interface and of course some bug fixing. But the major improvement to the FormMaker is the new MDI style user interface and the capability to export forms as Java Server Faces ( JSF ) files. At the moment, the Sun RI and the Apache MyFaces implementation are supported.

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.

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.

The new brand new version of Mogwai ERDesigner is available for download. The new release includes some minor and major bug fixes and also some enhancements in the gui and usability. It also supports the new indexed domain feature for oracle databases. Using this, you can easily create sequences and the neccesary trigger to fill columns with default values from these sequences on insert.

A new version of Mogwai ER-Designer is available. It's called 0.9rc1 and implements many improvements to the visual design interface. Also, a complete new logging mechanism was implement to make the tool and SQL generation more transparent to the user. But the main improvement is the new PostgreSQL database support. Feel free to try !

The brand new version of the famous Mogwai ER-Designer is released under it's label 0.8. Some major improvements were done to the visual design interface. There were bugs fixed and the display and entity rendering was speeded up. Also, the reverse engineering plugin for Oracle databases was improved. Now, the data dictionary cache access is faster than ever. There is also a brand new plugin called the Database PDF documentator. Using this plugin, you can create a customizable documentation for your database using the Apache FOP processor.

The sources and binaries are available here.

The next release of the famous Mogwai ER-Designer is now available for download. There have been some major improvements to the visual design interface and the Oracle database support. Also, the reverse engineering plugin that was missed in the 0.6 release is now included and available for MySQL and Oracle. There was also a redesign of the DatabaseConnection API, so now it is even more easier to code new database connections than ever.

A new version of the famous Mogwai ERDesigner is available for download.

A few bugs were fixed and after using the tool in real life projects, the following features were implemented to make the tool even more usefull than it was in its 0.5 release:

The Mogwai team welcomes Kevin Fries as a new developer.

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

Release 0.3 of the Mogwai ERDesigner now supports foreign key constraints generation. The MySQL interface has been inproved. A brand new Oracle 8i support interface was added. There were also some improvements in the visual interface. The user can now select the Look & Feel. As the last new feature, you can now print your er - models from the designer.

The next release will include a full round trip engineering and schema compare.

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!
