Version 1.02 is a significant revision of XUI with several new features and some refactoring of the existing classes. XUI has been enhanced by the addition of an XML based file description of XUI pages. Now an application can be built almost entirely of XML thereby increasing the speed at which a working application can be created. Some of the basic components have also been enhanced and some new components have been added. The library has been refactored to remove some of the dependancies on the AWT and to include support for Swing. The refactoring also allows new component libraries to be registered with the component factory. Both documentation and the sample applications have been improved to and restructured to make the ideas behind XUI more apparent. An ANT build file has been added so that you can quickly reconstruct the library, documentation and the website. The source code for the latest release contains some additional packages including a prototype set of widgets for Swing and an experimental IDE for building XUI applications via XML.
