Dia 15 de outubro foi liberada a versão 1.o do framework Pivot Toolkit para desenvolvimento de aplicações ricas para internet (RIA). Este toolkit começou como um projeto desenvolvido pela VMWare, e acabou se transformando em uma aplicação open-source.
Não cheguei a testar este framework, mas achei bem interessante.
Segundo o site oficial, as novidades da versão 1.0 são as seguintes:
The Pivot development team is happy to announce the relase of Pivot 1.0. This release includes a number of improvements over the preview release announced in June, many of which were proposed or built by developers who joined the project after the initial announcement:
- A new, optimized WTKX loader that uses StAX rather than DOM to parse the XML source
- A new package supporting visual effects and animated transitions
- Improved localization support that allows developers to define resources using hierarchical, UTF-8 based JSON files rather than flat, ISO 8859 Java properties files
- New components:
- Menus, menu bars, and menu buttons
- Spinners
- Mac OSX-like property sheets
- Google Maps-like panorama-style scroll panes
- Tool palette windows
- A new charting library based on JFreeChart that is fully integrated with Pivot's data model classes
- Support for custom color schemes in the default "Terra" look and feel package
- "Pivot Explorer", a Firebug-like debugging tool
- Improved documentation
- Numerous bug fixes and performance improvements
