Welcome to JGUIraffe

This is the official project site of the JGUIraffe library. JGUIraffe is a framework supporting the implementation of Java desktop applications using concepts like declarative UI definition, action and command objects, and dependency injection. On this page you find comprehensive documentation and download links. The documentation consists of the following parts:

  • The JGUIraffe reference documentation inlcuding a short introduction or a user's guide. Aggregated Javadocs are available as well. Use the links on the left hand side menu to navigate to these documents. When learning the library this is the place to start.
  • The JGUIraffe examples documentation deals with the examples shipped with the library. This includes a description of the JGUIraffe tutorial application - an application which demonstrates many concepts of the library combined to a real world example.
  • The JGUIraffe library consists of several sub modules. These can be accessed from the Modules menu. Here you find additional information specific to these modules like several types of development reports.
