Planning / Scheduling / Java Components & Java Libraries (Java Class Libraries) / Embarcadero / CodeGear (Tools & Components)

Java components are Java libraries or Java Class libraries, JavaBeans or EJBs that allow you to reuse your own Java code or Java code written by someone else within your Java program or Java application. These Java libraries will include specific functionality that you can integrate into your Java project, perhaps allowing you to support a new feature that a user has requested you to add, such as transferring a file by FTP or HTTP or providing some sort of eCommerce capability to your Web site, such as authorizing a credit card. By reusing your own Java code you save time and improve the modular design and quality of your software. By reusing code written by someone else, you not only save time and effort, you also get to add their knowledge or expertise to your application, enabling you to support new functions and features inside your app that were not possible before.

JavaBeans or Java Beans are reusable software components for Java that can be included in your Java app to provide visual interaction for the user with the form or screen, they typically give your Java application user interface (UI) controls, such as buttons, data entry boxes, text editors or they can be used to present datatables using a Java datagrid bean and draw charts or graphs.

There are also other forms of Java component listed here, such as EJB components or Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs), these Enterprise JavaBeans are server-side non-visual Java components that can be bolted together in a modular manner to provide business logic and other functions in your J2EE environment. For example, we have sophisticated EJBs for adding complex financial calculations or statistical probability functions to your applications.

The Java Class Library products are the most numerous and include Java Classes that are: Java datagrids, Java spreadsheets, Java Math & Stats libraries, Java charting libraries and Java graphing classes, Java calendar or Java Gantt class products for planning and scheduling, Java speech recognition classes, text editing, word processing and spell checking Java classes and much, much more.

Finally you will also find Java Applet and Java Servlet commercial products in this Java product gallery. These Java Applets allow you to present data charts, graphs, barcodes and the Java Servlets provide text & HTML editing, spell checking, file handling, data conversion and PDF file creation functionality.

In this filtered view of our main product catalog, you will find a selection of products that are compatible with Embarcadero Technologies products, as well as CodeGear products that were formerly owned by Borland Software. Embarcadero bought CodeGear in June, 2008, CodeGear was previously a division of Borland, making the Borland IDEs known as: Borland Delphi, Borland C++ Builder and Borland JBuilder. These products were sometimes referred to as CodeGear Delphi, CodeGear C++ Builder and CodeGear JBuilder, but are now known as Embarcadero Delphi XE and Embarcadero C++ Builder XE. Plus there is an Embarcadero developer tool suite, consisting of all .NET Embarcadero developer tools known as Embarcadero RAD Studio XE. JBuilder is also available from Embarcadero, along with other Embarcadero database tools.

This Embarcadero product gallery or CodeGear marketplace is full of products that are compatible with the Embarcadero product range, CodeGear tools and Borland dev tools. For Delphi developers there are Delphi components available as CodeGear VCL products, there are CodeGear components and Borland library products that will work with both your old Borland IDE, Borland C++ Builder and the new Embarcadero IDE environments, such as Embarcadero C++ Builder XE. The products here are compatible with CodeGear tools (formerly Borland tools) and can be evaluated by downloading the product trial from the CodeGear download page for each specific CodeGear tool or CodeGear component that you are investigating. You can then evaluate the CodeGear library or CodeGear extension downloaded, read the CodeGear reviews written and posted by other CodeGear developers about it or as a CodeGear developer you could write a CodeGear review yourself.

You will find lots of mature products that are: Borland .Net compatible tools, Borland component products, Borland tools, Borland libraries and many newer or up to date products that are: CodeGear tools, CodeGear component extensions, CodeGear tools or CodeGear libraries. Finally, for the newer and more up to date products, you can read the Embarcadero News pages, that highlight the Embarcadero product news every time a new Embarcadero compatible product is released. This Embarcadero News feed is also available as an Embarcadero News RSS data feed for you to subscribe to, so that you can keep up to date with all the latest Embarcadero product news.
