Nexaweb Studio 2.0.x - What's New
Nexaweb Studio offers many exciting new features to make your Nexaweb Application development experience a painless and enjoyable one. Each part of Studio was improved with new usability and productivity features that are needed to quickly design and build any Nexaweb Application.
Visual Editor
The visual editor was upgraded with many new features to make designing your user interface easy. Multiple selection and logical grouping of components allow screen designers the ability to apply actions and properties to all selected components. New formatting actions for justification, size and spacing save time in designing screens built using freeLayouts. Drag images from either the Navigator or Package Explorer onto components to change any image attribute. Deal with multiple XUpdate directives in a single file by visualizing them individually. Rules-based schema verification eliminates unneeded attributes and enforces proper component relationships.
Outline View
Enhancements in the outline allows the user to view and manipulate a file's Document Object Model. Many features were added to the outline view to increase it usefulness when dealing with large files. New Drag and Drop allows you to reorder components, change parents and move and copy event handlers. Displays logical elements of the file including: events, include statements and Managed Client Objects, allowing developers to see all aspects of the file in an easy to use tree view. Connect a component's event to Java Event handlers by easily dragging and dropping class methods from the Package Explorer onto the component.
Properties View
Studio replaced it own property view and replaced it with the standard eclipse properties view to make changing component properties a snap. Property values are validated against the schema to eliminate incorrect values, which will be reported in the status bar. Grouping of properties by categories makes it easy to find the property you want. View actual property names or easy to understand display names.
Customizable Palette
The customizable palette gives developers the ability to change properties on components in the palette as well as define new components that when dragged into the visual editor or outline view, create the newly defined component. Create new components with the properties you want or define plugins that you have created. Modify existing components with the properties that you commonly use. Create new drawers to house new classes of widgets.
Application Configuration Editors
Studio provides two form-based configuration editors to change properties of the nexaweb-client.xml and nexaweb-server.xml files. The form editors makes it easy to find and change properties related to: logging, loading screen, thread pools, stylesheet, etc...
Gradient Editor
Developers can design gradients using the editor provided in any stylesheet form editor.
Project Management
New features were added to project creation and maintenance, making handling projects a easy.
Configurable project structure. Easily upgrade to new versions of Nexaweb using the "Add/Upgrade Nexaweb Support" action.
