jMaki 1.0 is Live

Having experienced continuous development for over 2 years it is time to put a stake in the ground and call jMaki 1.0 ready for general use.

Included in the bundles:

• The core jMaki framework.
• Sample applications.
• Ant task for creating applications and adding widgets and necessary dependencies to those applications.
• All the scripts and widget libraries.

We provide bundles for both PHP and Java. The ant task for application creation allows you to create applications rapidly from the command line.

We also provide plugins for both Netbeans 5.x and 6.0 that will create jMaki applications with all the necessary resources in the correct places. Included support is:

• The core jMaki Framework.
• Templates to start out with.
• Drag and drop widgets with templates.
• Theming support.

How you experience jMaki is up to you. Find the bundles on the downloads page.

We have also started work on consolidating all the blogs, documents, and form posts on using jMaki into an online book. This is a work in progress and you can find the starting table of contents on our developer site.

I would like to thank everyone on the team and others not listed on the team page for their hard work in putting this release together. I like to encourage would encourage you to join the effort. jMaki is going places and we would love to have you along for the ride.

jMaki 1.0 is fast approaching

After over a year in community development we are preparing to release jMaki 1.0 on September 25.

jMaki has stabilized over the past few months especially with the data models which allow you to create some very sophisticated user interfaces. As proof we have created jmaki.com where we are hosting many of our samples and recent blog postings using jMaki.

How are you using jMaki and if not what are we missing?
