From: Frank Carlos <solrac@us.ibm.com> To: <lwn@eklektix.com> Subject: NEW Java applications and JavaBeans Suites Date: Mon, 2 Nov 1998 11:34:02 -0500 FYI - Several NEW Java applications and JavaBeans Suites have been adde= d recently to alphaWorks Please forward this announcement to everyone you think might be interested in this information. Thanks, Frank Carlos alphaworks http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/ -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- New Java applications added to alphaWorks SlideFinder http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/formula/SlideFinder SlideFinder lets you search and browse all your Lotus Freelance and Mic= rosoft PowerPoint presentations. You can enter text/keywords and find pages th= at contain the text, or you can find pages that look similar to another pa= ge. It displays a Graphical User Interface (GUI) showing reduced images of eac= h page, and using the GUI, you can search for pages that contain text/key= words you enter, or you can do an image similarity search by clicking on a di= splayed page. Platforms: [ Windows 95, Windows NT ] -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- NavBuilder http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/formula/navbuilder NavBuilder is a Java tool that allows users of all skill levels to crea= te web sites with navigations. The intent of the tool is to keep things simple and straightforward, so users can rapidly generate results with a minimum o= f effort and learning. Hopefully, we have achieved the goal of creating a GUI th= at does not require reading any manuals to use. Platforms: [ Windows 95, Windows NT, Windows 98 ] -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------- TOAD http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/formula/TOAD Toad is an environment for assisting in the development of Java applica= tions. Toad is not an integrated Java source development environment (IDE). Ra= ther, you use Toad for examining your existing Java centralized or distribute= d program, and for analyzing or studying Java programs written elsewhere.= Platforms: [ All Java Enabled Platforms ] -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- New JavaBeans added to the alphaBeans section of alphaWorks http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/alphaBeans -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- Arithmetic JavaBeans Suite The Arithmetic Bean Set contains non-visual beans that allow you to perform arithmetic operations while creating applications in visual programming tools, without hand-coding programming. JavaBeans --------------- ArithmeticEvaluator, Increment, Decrement, Plus, Minus, Divide, Multiply -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- Comparator The Comparator Bean Suite contains non-visual beans which allow you to perform comparison operations while creating applications in a visua= l programming tool. JavaBeans --------------- ClassChecker, ConditionEvaluator, Equal, NotEqual, Less, LessOrEqual, Greater, GreaterOrEqual, LogicEvaluator, NumbersComparator, ObjectsComparator -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- String The String set of beans contains components that make string operations possible without hand-coding programming.The application assembler can compare, concatenate, search for a substring and perform other operations during application run-time. JavaBeans --------------- Compare, Concatenate, EndsWith, Equal, IndexOf, LastIndexOf, Lowercase, RegionMatches, Replace, StartsWith, Substring, ToBytes, ToChars, Trim, Uppercase -----------------------------------------------------------------------= ---- =
