Great news on the various frameworks!! Really hope you release a security version with multi tenancy too as this would be immediately useful.
As Patrick says, kinda hard to get a clear idea how good they are without at least some basic instructions/docs and perhaps a video Can I ask will you be supporting ServoyForge.net by posting them there too, or is it GIT only ? …it would be nice to see Servoy embrace the community open source initiative set up and championed by @ptalbot and @roclasi
As mentioned when announced at ServoyCamp last week, documentation for the various open sourced modules will follow shortly. Having said that, the code is properly encapsulated and the public API is for a large part pretty well documented, so if you feel adventurous you can already dig in.
@Patrick: Yes, the svyJFXWebView requires Java7 update 6 or higher, or a manually installed JavaFX in Java 6 on Windows (no JavaFX support in Java 6 on OSX and Linux). This is pretty well documented on the constructor function for the WebView and if you try to use it when JavaFX is not installed, you get proper warnings. But of course this will be part of the documentation as well.
@Gordon: I assume you are talking about the ServoySecurity project op ServoyForge? That project is maintained by Scott Butler, you’d have to ask him his plans for it.
These open source BAP modules will be hosted on GitHub, together with their documentation and issue management. We will set up accompanying projects on ServoyForge, just so they can be found through ServoyForge.
In the February Servoy Newsletter it said there would be a webinar about these modules tomorrow, Feb. 26th, however the registration link didn’t work and I don’t see this webinar mentioned on the Servoy website. Is it happening or has it been rescheduled or cancelled? Thanks.
I have not received a Servoy newsletter in quite some time (months). Nothing in my spam folder related to Servoy. I do receive other e-mails from Servoy (e.g. forum notices, support notices, invoices, etc.).
