I am pleased to announce that Javier Paniza, project lead for the OpenXava project, has joined our JCG program. Javier has been developing with Java Enterprise since 1998 and occasionally blogs at Sys-Con.
Let me tell you a few things about OpenXava too. As described in the official site:
OpenXava is a tool for Rapid Java Web Development, well-suited for business and database oriented applications.
Here are some key points regarding the project:
- Open Source (LGPL)
- More than 130,000 downloads
- 40 contributors
- Active community
- High productivity
- Short learning curve
- AJAX User Interface
- Exhaustive documentation
- Based in Java standards
The project is very mature and currently is at major version 4. You can take a look at the demos or get your hands dirty with the quick start guide.
We are certainly waiting for some high-quality material from Javier! In case you have used the OpenXava framework in the past, I would love to hear your experiences.
Cheers,
Ilias
