Developing java applications with Servoy Developer
Servoy Developer is a Java enterprise rapid applications development environment. I have always thought of Java as write once and debug everywhere, but the Servoy tools are changing that with the ability to develop a single code base that can be deployed across Windows, Mac, Linux, and run in a wide variety of browsers too. <br /><br />Before you do anything, make sure you have the latest Java JRE from Sun installed from this page.<br /><br />Next, download the Servoy .JAR package or use the EXE if you are running Vista. One nice thing is this is free and a fully functioning version with up to five licensed clients, what they call their community edition. It includes the application server, support for Eclipse. and a lightweight Web server too. <br /><br />Servoy Developer v. 4.0<br /><br />Pricing details: $895 plus $349 per concurrent client <br />Product category: Java app development enviroment<br />Servoy USA, 299 W.
