Exadel

The product di­rec­tion for Ex­adel is to move more and more to­wards open source. From the be­gin­ning, our Ex­adel Flamingo product has al­ways been open source in the sense of pub­lishing the source code along with the bi­na­ries in re­leases. With Ex­adel JavaFX Plug-​​In for Eclipse, we are now moving fur­ther to a full open source model that in­cludes opening up the de­vel­op­ment process and not just the code for each release.

To make the process of moving prod­ucts to full open source easier, we’ve cre­ated a dot-​​org ver­sion of our Web site to host these projects:

ex​adel​.org

Ex­adel Ex­adel JavaFX Plug-​​In for Eclipse is the first project for the new site. Read more »

Back in De­cember, An­drew Ko­molov posted Flamingo for An­droid about a new ver­sion of Flamingo with sup­port for mo­bile clients in­cluding An­droid. To give people a chance to get up-​​close with the ex­citing new func­tion­ality of m-​​commerce, we’ve set up a demo site with a lim­ited shop­ping cart and cat­alog and made avail­able a down­load­able An­droid client con­nected to the demo e-​​commerce site. Here’s what you would need to do with your An­droid phone to try it: Read more »

In the process of adding a link to our latest we­binar on our we­bi­nars page, I no­ticed we’ve com­piled quite a list of we­bi­nars over the last year. At Ex­adel, we usu­ally treat a we­binar as a part­nering op­por­tu­nity, so each of these we­bi­nars is as­so­ci­ated with a par­tic­ular partner. Going back a year that list in­cludes: Read more »

A few blog en­tries back, Ex­adel launched its Cloud in a Box product hosted on Amazon EC2. We are quite proud of this end-​​​​to-​​​​end so­lu­tion for building Rich In­ternet ap­pli­ca­tions on the Amazon Cloud (or for down­loading and building RIAs on a dif­ferent host). To pro­vide this, Cloud in a Box stacks to­gether a number of open source tech­nolo­gies. And, one of the key tech­nolo­gies is In­gres Data­base. Read more »

There are sev­eral changes going on for Ex­adel JavaFX Studio. We’ve switched the name to:

Ex­adel JavaFX Plug-​​​​In for Eclipse

We’re still working on a new in­ternal plat­form with full easy-​​​​to-​​​​use ser­vices for open source man­age­ment to host our open source projects. The JavaFX Plug-​​​​In will be the first to go up on the new open source site, but in the mean­time we are still de­vel­oping it internally.

Today, we are re­leasing a ver­sion for down­load that adds sup­port for hy­per­text nav­i­ga­tion from the JavaFX source code ed­itor to the Java class ed­itor for classes ref­er­enced in the file. Hold on to the con­trol key and class ref­er­ences be­come click­able links. There are also some bug fixes listed in the on­line re­lease notes.
