Development moved to the Clico project

2005-06-26T21:23:42Z

I'm continuing development of an MVC framework with ideas from the Scope project in http://sourceforge.net/projects/clico . I felt that Scope 2.0 was an impossible goal to attain, there was simply too much development and i couldn't do it alone. But with the new technologies like AOP, Inversion of control and Java 5 (annotations), and the JGoodies binding and validation libraries, i think that the goal of Scope, to make Swing development simpler and faster, is closer today. I hope that you will have a look at this project and contribute, this is today very much a work in progress but the results are worth the work in my opinion.

ScopeMVC 2.0 alpha 1 released

2003-08-07T23:25:20Z

This is the first public release after the refactoring work from the 1.x version. It doesn't contain much functionality, and it's still far for production use, but i hope it will give you a good idea of where Scope is going. Don't forget to give your feedback!

Now working on Scope 2.0

2003-06-02T10:32:38Z

Scope 2.0 will be a complete rewrite of Scope 1.0.
It will have a smaller public API, to make it easier for people to learn. Features should include: support for XML documents as models, transparent support for JavaBeans as model with the help of Aspect Oriented Programming (or Dynamic proxies), XML configuration file, integrated validation and security support...
It won't be compatible with existing Scope 1.0 applications, but migration should be fairly easy. The change was necessary due to evolving technologies and the organic growth of scope 1.0 which didn't make developping scope as cool as it should be.

Scope 1.0.1 released

2002-11-25T18:03:13Z

Scope 1.0.1 has been released. It contains various bug fixes and small improvements for the behaviour of the Swing components. In particular, STextField has been improved, and a preview of a table that can sort its columns, SSortTable, has been added. Scope is an application framework built on a generic implementation of the Model-View-Controller pattern for component based development, independent of view technology. Implementations for Servlet, JSP, XML-XSLT and Swing are provided.

Timewarp 0.6 released

2002-10-31T15:02:06Z

Scope is an application framework built on a generic implementation of the Model-View-Controller pattern for component based development, independent of view technology. Implementations for Servlet, JSP, XML-XSLT and Swing are provided. Timewarp, the code generator for the Scope MVC framework, has a new release. This release fixes some bugs in the generated code, and the user interface has been improved to make it nicer and more useful.

Scope: release of 1.0 final

2002-10-25T10:11:43Z

Release 1.0 final is finally out!
This release contains numerous bugfixes as well as an improved documentation.
For the developers, please note that Maven is now used to build all the documentation and the web site, and JRefactory's Pretty formats the sourcecode according to Sun's Java coding conventions.

Enjoy,

New CVS module for Scope work in progress

2002-05-26T12:04:05Z

The new "scope-inprogress" CVS module is available for work in progress that may be incomplete and not ready for integration into the stable codebase.

To start with, I have checked in an STree implementation from dkodeih, an example of using SComboBox as an STable cell editor from Philippe Caron, and a bound ModelButton from mosesjones.

Feel free to use this module as a playground for new ideas!

Scope version 1.0rc3 released

2002-05-26T11:58:57Z

Minor release with bug-fixes. Note that major new functionality is now incubated in the "scope-inprogress" CVS module until ready to be moved over to the stable "scope" module.

* Fixes to beanify a couple of un-beany Swing components. (ludovicc)
* Added convenience to set a menuitem accelerator when creating an SMenuitem. (smeyfroi)
* Fixed SwingContext for JDK1.4. (alenkei & ludovicc)
* Added ModelButton to scope-inprogress. (sjones)
* Changed ScopeConfig to be subclassable. (ajackson)
* Added SComboBox in STable example to scope-inprogress. (Philippe Caron)
* Added STree to scope-inprogress. (dkodeih)

Scope: Release of v1.0rc2

2002-02-10T17:47:13Z

Hopefully getting close to final release of 1.0. Remaining work (unless bugs are found) is around tidying the documentation.

Minor release with bug-fixes.

Note that extensions to the XML/XSLT servlet implementation may
break with this release: I've switched to using JAXP and TRAX APIs now that
they have stabilised. Unfortunately this has changed the implementation
of AbstractXSLPage, breaking subclasses that customize the default behaviour,
hopefully in a relatively minor way... Sorry! On the plus side the implementation
is now more flexible. :-)

Scope no longer ships with Xerces and Xalan: instead it ships with Saxon which
can be replaced with Xerces/Xalan or any other JAXP/TRAX compatible libraries.

* Fixed STable's non-standard renderer/editor implementation.
* Fixed STable's redraw problems.
* Renamed Debug.assert to Debug.assertTrue for JDK1.4
* Replaced direct use of log4j with Apache's commons-logging facade
which uses log4j or jdk1.4 if either is available. See Scope readme.txt
for futher details.
* Switched to JAXP/TRAX API instead of dependence on Xerces/Xalan in
AbstractXSLPage. (thanks for the push, waily!)
* Fixed bug in STextField on navigation through null submodels. (roytman)
* Fixed ValidationHelper for multiple validation failures in a row. (pisettam)
* Binary jars are now compressed.

Timewarp code generator in CVS

2002-02-09T16:51:52Z

Woohoo! Source code for a new Scope tool, the Timewarp code generator, is now in CVS as the "timewarp" module.

Timewarp is a code generator for Swing Scope applications. It generates model, view, controller and launcher code, as well as unit tests. An application is specified using a Swing GUI and source is generated as .java files and package documentation in .html files.

The authors of this new tool are available on the Scope Yahoo eGroup accessible from the Scope homepage.
