Visaj 2.0 was developed entirely with Java, and runs on all platforms, including UNIX, Windows NT, Windows 95 and the Apple Macintosh.
Visaj 2.0 includes a high level of support for Sun Microsystems Java Foundation Class (JFC) Swing components, and includes a new rich set of layout editors, an image editor, graphical 'hot-wiring' of events and JavaBean serialization.
The tool provides a quick, intuitive "point-and-click" environment for creating pure Java code, allowing developers to create truly platform-independent computing solutions. Visaj 2.0 runs anywhere, supports JDK 1.1.x, JFC/Swing components, integrates visible and invisible beans, and supports IDEs such as Sun's Java Workshop.
New features of Visaj 2.0 include:
- Extensive Support for JFC/Swing--automatically load and access the entire set of Swing components, or load Swing as the default Visaj palette
- Swing Box Layout Editor--allows more complex layouts to be visually constructed
- Advanced Image Editor--implemented entirely using Swing and can read and write both JPEG and GIF formats
- Graphical Event 'Hot-Wiring'--configuring events by drawing a line between the source and destination components in the Visaj containment hierarchy to invoke an event-binding wizard
- Bridging from Motif GUIs--programmers using IST's X-Designer Motif GUI builder have the ability to import interface designs.
Visaj 2.0 Standard starts at $495, and Visaj ProPack 2.0 starts at $995 and includes a year of e-mail support, fixes, downloadable point releases and major upgrades.
