ILOG JViews 8.5 Beta1 now available

The Beta is now available and you’re invited to participate. This first drop of the beta has two parts: (1) an entirely new package, ILOG JViews Graph Layout for Eclipse, and (2) important updates to our popular ILOG JViews Diagrammer product.   The beta download site (registration required) contains all of the instructions to get you going.

What’s New

ILOG JViews Graph Layout for Eclipse features a full range of graph layout algorithms that make diagram displays more readable; it is a native integration with Eclipse’s EMF, GMF and GEF.  If you are working with diagrams, and either deploying to the Eclipse Rich Client Platform or creating an Eclipse plug-in, you should consider this new product.

ILOG JViews Diagrammer’s Beta includes:

  • Faster and better graph layout, for many of the node, link, and label algorithms.
  • The ability to compile symbols directly into Java code, yielding improvements up to 300%.
  • A new integration with the latest Ajax frameworks, such as IceFaces, RichFaces and Trinidad, shortening development time and lowering maintenance costs.

    Any chance you are going to start supporting Safari for the diagrammer?

    We continue to test internally against the Webkit-based browsers, such as Safari and Chrome. However, we do not officially support these browsers for JViews 8.5. We are discussing on adding this to the feature planning for the subsequent release, but I cannot commit to this yet. For any additional questions that you have on the beta, I suggest you come over to the forum that we setup and post there: http://forums.ilog.com/visualization/index.php?board=32.0
