LDAP Enabled Application Framework / News: Recent posts

Leafs 0.6.1 was released today along with Leaf-Utils 0.1.1 this release was an interim release on the way to 0.7.

The reason for this release was to correct serious problems with the initial 0.6.0 and 0.1.0 releases.

This release includes a very simple yet working example of the classic web portal. This example will continue to grow and evolve as a living example on how to write and deploy Leafs based applications.... read more

The PortalWeb example application is implemented using the LEAFs v0.6 framework. It is the first of many example applications we plan to release over the coming months.

PortalWeb will show how to construct the common Internet portal with reusable portlets and further show how to integrate multiple LEAFs based applications as we add them.

At this point the example application is about 25% complete, be sure to watch CVS for updates. This project will be included with release v0.7 of the LEAFs framework.

After examining the Eclipse IDE and the myriad of plugins available to make a programmers life easier, it has been decided to make a Leafs plugin.

The plugin will be modeled closely after the "Easy Struts" plugin project. Providing wizards and configuration tools.

The initial import into CVS should take place sometime this week. Stay tuned for further information on this front.

An error was discovered in the 0.10 release of the utils package.
A new build 0.11 is currently in testing and will be released soon.

The error is a missing set of import statements in the
org.gurumeditations.util.ClassUtils.

The import statements where missing:

import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.lang.reflect.*;

Cheers

Leafs package and the supporting utils package where added on 8/5/02.

As soon as version 0.7 is released we will start seeking developers to help polish the code and fill in some of the blanks.
