Setting up a Maven project is much simpler now with Eclipse Neon than it e.g. was with Eclipse Luna. – Nearly all these little annoying issues within the Eclipse setup are not required anymore – and only one little issue is left. Result: the documentation for the project setup was shortened and fun during setup is increased…!

CaptainCasa is part of the JAX Conference starting at May 09th in Mainz, Germany. We invite you to visit our booth and to get into direct contact with us.
Björn is speaker, visit his talk at Wed, May 10th with the topic: HTML5 im Bereich operativ genutzter Geschäftsanwendungen – „Take the RISC!“ (in German).
You now can define tool tips to also contain HTML text – you just need to define the text as “<html>….</html>”. The rendering of the tool tip is done by some own tool tip processor as consequence.
We added a tool to our Layout Editor that allows to extract icons images (PNG) from two icon fonts. The fonts we use are the “Awesome Font” and the “SAP Icon Font” – both together providing more than 1.000 flat icons. When creating the icon you may define the foreground and the background color.
Well, it may sound not 100% right to create icons from a font – but at the end there are quite some use cases in which an icon is the way to go – e.g. the background styling of components (via CSS) is currently not possible with font icons.
A design agency did a review of our default style. The result was positive on the one hand: “flat”, “consistent”, “clear”, “tidied up”, “functional” – but of course there was also a list of improvements: “dark, strong, different colors”, “too many lines”, “font not optimal”, “coloring too heavyweight”.
We processed most of the issues that are related to the default style and now have some update on the default style as consequence:
The online demo workplace also was updated, so please check >THERE< as well!
How do you migrate a Swing Fat Client Application into a Web Application? Being explicitly designed to serve demanding Business Applications, CaptainCasa Enterprise Client is an excellent framework to take over the User Interface part.
The following video demonstrates the capability of a step by step migration from Swing to HTML, so that new HTML parts and existing Swing parts coexist in an integrated way.
It is now possible to select/deselect items in the PAINTAREA. The selection can be done by defining a rectangular range with the mouse or by clicking the individual items.
We searched for some nice way to visualize data as tachometer – and found the JavaScript library RGraph. So we built some bridge to make it really easy to produce RGraph-visualizations within the context of the CaptainCasa application processing.
The serve side actually creates a JSON representation of the configuration that is passed into the chart instance on client side. So any flexibility that is provided by RChart is usable.
Please find some overview information within this video:

Get to know and meet CaptainCasa – both the framework and the people behind!
