It includes a mixed deployment mode, which supports one server to serve Swing clients and Web clients at the same time. The framework uses XML to define an application's GUI. It provides a common widget-based, object-oriented programming interface for Web and Swing GUIs, which prevents the developer from struggling with HTML and HTTP or with the internals of Swing. For Swing client/server applications the client/server split as well as the client/server communication is handled transparently by the framework. The project includes a GUI builder that is based on the framework's functionality (screenshot, deployed as a Web/HTML application).

Konfabulator 2.0

Konfabulator 2.0 06/22/2005 01:58 AM

Before there was Dashboard, there was Konfabulator. While Apple was working on bringing Dashboard to Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4), Konfabulator was getting ready for Windows. Ars Technica reviews Konfabulator 2.0 for Windows.

Konfabulator manages little programs called "widgets" that do little tasks that you probably perform frequently and should be all but completely automated. For example, think about what's needed to check the weather report online. You could fire up a web browser, navigate to your favorite site, punch in your ZIP code... You could also get a little system tray app that continuously polls a weather service. This is an improvement, but it takes up prime real estate on your screen. Instead, you can use the Konfabulator weather widget. It provides a small graphical display of the weather for the next few days.

Konfabulator still runs on Mac OS X, but this review looks at the Windows version. If you are a Windows user who has been wondering what all the fuss over Dashboard is about, now's the chance to see for yourself.

Konfabulator was created by Arlo Rose and Perry Clarke, two software developers who met while working as Sun Microsystems (nasdaq:SUNW - news - people ).
