Further documentation can be found at:
The XuiAll package contains a simple editor for XUI, however this is being replaced by a NetBeans based IDE. The latest version of this IDE can also be found on the SourceForge site. The NetBeans editor provides all the facilities of the previous editor and leverages the support provided by NetBeans 3.6 to give a more powerful development environment.
Xoetrope also offers documentation for its Carousel framework which extends XUI and the NetBeans XuiEditor. This documentation provides extensive coverage of the XUI framework and provides detailed information on related development issues such as packaging and deployment. A draft of this documenation can be found at sourceforge
XUI 1.0.4 is released under a modified form of the Mozilla Public License. Previous versions had been released under the Artistic License and following expressions of concern by several people we have moved to the new license. The license can be found at: http://xui.sourceforge.net/docs/license.txt
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who participated in the test program and provided valuable feedback.
Enjoy!
