From: "Carl H. Sayres" <carl@datarepresentations.com> Subject: COMMERCIAL/WANTED: Simplicity for Java: Linux Beta-Testers Wanted Date: Mon, 23 Feb 1998 11:38:55 GMT -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- - --------------------- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - --------------------- Thursday, February 19, 1998 Data Representations http://www.datarepresentations.com/ - ------------------------ REQUEST FOR BETA-TESTERS - ------------------------ Data Representations is pleased to announce the beta-release of its flagship product, Simplicity for Java(TM). Simplicity for Java is a rapid application design tool for Java 1.1. Simplicity lets developers build Java applications and applets interactively. Developers can click-n-drop Java Layouts, AWT Components, Simplicity’s own extended components, and Third Party Java Beans into their application. Simplicity features on-the-fly execution of Java source code, enabling applications to execute class declaration code, constructor code, method code, and event code as they are designed. This dynamic execution reduces the traditional, three step, Code-Compile-Test, software development process to a single step: Design. Every change that is made to an application’s source code is immediately integrated into a working model of the program. Simplicity also features the Code Sourcerer(TM), which interviews the developer in order to determine what should happen in response to events and writes the appropriate Java source code. This allows Simplicity for Java to be used by both experienced and inexperienced Java developers. Simplicity for Java comes with an Integrated Design Environment (IDE) which organizes all of the components of a project. A project can include multiple applications/applets, images, sounds, Java source/class files, HTML files, Java Beans, and any other data files related to a project. The Simplicity IDE also relieves the user from worrying about pathnames on both a local file system, and on a web server. Simplicity for Java is written completely in Java 1.1, and we will be seeking 100% Pure Java certification at the end of the beta-testing period. Simplicity has had preliminary testing on the following platforms: OS/2 Warp 4.0 (IBM JDK 1.1.4) Linux (i386 JDK 1.1.3) Windows 95/NT (JavaSoft JDK 1.1.5) Windows 95/NT (Microsoft SDK 2.01) HP-UX (HP JDK 1.1.4) It is our goal to increase this list substantially. We are seeking a pool of beta-testers covering a diverse set of hardware and Java Virtual Machines. We are also looking for testers with many different levels of Java programming experience. People who are interested in applying to be a beta tester should visit http://www.datarepresentations.com/. As compensation, those people selected for the beta test will receive a free copy of Simplicity for Java when it is released. © 1998, Data Representations. All rights reserved.
