JFolder is a web-based application development and management tool. It allows users to create applications through a web browser without writing any code.
To see examples, view the videos.
Status
Version 1.1 Alpha has just been released to SourceForge and is available for download. It contains an implementation of the Java Pet Store that was completely developed through a web browser and with no code.
This version is a proof-of-concept. Many upgrades to usability and application structure will be added in the coming months.
Install
You can download JFolder by going to its project page on SourceForge, clicking 'Download', and selecting the appropriate file.
Easy
The following steps will set up JFolder on your local system. They are equivalent (though much simpler) to the Developer's installation and some steps ('Import the Pet Store Application' and 'Deploy the Pet Store Application') listed in the Pet Store documentation.
Download by going to SourceForge, clicking 'Download', and selecting 'JFolderProjectFullInstall_1_1.zip'.
Unzip 'JFolderProjectFullInstall_1_1.zip' into your root drive. (This will create a 'C:\JFolder_Home' directory.) Set your 'JAVA_HOME' environment variable to point to the base directory of a JDK 1.5 or higher installation.
Follow the remaining instructions in the Pet Store documentation to start the server, to use the Pet Store application, to access the JFolder Console, and (if you're interested and very patient) to recreate the Pet Store application with the macro.
Developer's
Instructions can be found here.
Pet Store
This version contains a replay feature which recreates and deploys the entire Pet Store step-by-step (which takes about 9 or 10 hours). You Do Not need to run this replay feature to use the Pet Store application. Please view the documentation for more information.
These videos are hosted by YouTube(TM). They are rendered at a lower resolution than their original versions (720 x 480). If you would like the original AVI files (9 MB), go to SourceForge, click 'Download', and select 'JFolderProjectVideos_1_1.zip'.
Creating the Classic Hello World Application - Within 100 seconds, see the entire application lifecycle for creating this classic application.
Exporting and Creating the Replay Macro for Hello World - JFolder applications can be imported and exported between systems. In addition, raw export files can be used to create macros that when executed actually recreate the application. This video exports the Hello World application and then generates its replay macro.
Recreating the Hello World Application with Replay Macro - Watch as the macro recreates the Hello World application without human intervention.
Using the Pet Store Application - JFolder comes with its own version of the Pet Store application. Here is an example of the user using this Pet Store.
