Canoo Announces Release of ULC Visual Builder for WebSphere Studio Application Developer

Point and click user interface designer for ULC

Basel, June 6, 2003 -- Canoo today announced the release of ULC Visual Builder for IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer v.5.0.1. ULC Visual Builder supports visual construction of rich client user interfaces for J2EE applications within the WebSphere Studio development environment. The visual user interface designer substantially eases the development of rich GUIs for J2EE applications with ULC. This brand new plug-in for WebSphere Studio gives developers real-time feedback while assembling the user interface.

ULC -- Rich Clients for J2EE
ULC is a library that offers rich client GUI components with a server-side programming model, fitting into existing J2EE architectures and platforms. ULC enables the development of applications that mix and match HTML clients and rich clients, both sharing the same business objects and software infrastructure.

Easy to Use
ULC relies entirely on J2EE. It can be used with existing or new application frameworks. Its GUI functionality and API are similar to Swing. In addition to the new Visual Builder, Canoo already provides a client/server simulator and a load and performance tester for ULC.
