ILOG JViews 8.5 offers Version of ILOG's Java-Based Visualization Suite

ILOG has announced ILOG JViewsR 8.5, the version of ILOG's Java-based visualization suite, with new features that enhance the creation of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) as well as desktop applications. ILOG JViews 8.5 adds support for the Eclipse platform including the ILOG JViews Graph Layout module, and additional support for Ajax frameworks to help developers build interactive, sophisticated user displays for RIA faster. The ILOG JViews demonstrates ILOG's role as innovator and providing solutions for visualization applications, such as large-scale industrial monitoring systems or Web-enabled road traffic information systems. The release accelerates development through integrated development environments like Eclipse and allows developers to take advantage of the RIA features.



The Eclipse Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF) Integration Diagrams presenting interconnected graphical entities are essential to visual modeling applications - such as business process modeling, software-oriented architecture choreography modelers or UML class diagram editors. To help Eclipse developers build these applications more efficiently and to enable users to understand what large models really mean for businesses so they can make decisions accordingly, the new ILOG JViews Graph Layout for Eclipse offers native integration with the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF), Graphical Modeling Framework (GMF), and Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). This integration with Eclipse helps developers build Rich Client Platform applications or custom Eclipse plug-ins without breaking their existing code. Seamless Integration with Ajax Frameworks for RIA Creation ILOG JViews 8.5 adds integration with the popular Ajax and PPR (Partial Page Rendering) frameworks, including ICESoft's ICEFaces and its Ajax push technologies, Apache Trinidad, JBoss Rich Faces Ajax, and Facelets for the creation of collaborative web application servers and portals.
