Altova MapForce 2012 released

Fri, 21 Oct 2011 16:40:45 GMT

Manipulating a customer database with Altova MapForce.

Adds streaming reading for large files, parse-date and parse-time functions, visual alignment guides and JDBC support.

Altova MapForce is a graphical data mapping, data conversion, and data integration tool. It maps between any combination of XML, database, flat file, EDI, Excel, XBRL, and/or Web service, then transforms data instantly or auto-generates royalty-free code for the execution of recurrent conversions. Altova MapForce includes the following languages for code generation: XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery, Java, C#, and C++. Altova MapForce integrates with Visual Studio and Eclipse to let you access MapForce benefits inside these leading IDEs. Altova MapForce also allows you to easily integrate disparate data sources or create Web services using graphical, drag-and-drop functionality.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2012

Streaming reading for large files - MapForce 2012 includes new streaming reading functionality for large XML, CSV, and FLF (fixed length format) files and databases. This enhanced read feature is equivalent to the direct file output feature introduced in v2011r2. Now the MapForce built-in execution engine can read arbitrarily long input sources and create correspondingly large output streams. Users no longer have to split extremely large XML, CSV, or FLF input files into chunks for processing, and MapForce can even theoretically read an entire relational database in one pass and generate an XML or other output file in a single pass. This is an important feature for extremely large ETL (Extract/Transform/Load) applications. MapForce already has included streaming output capabilities in recent releases and the streaming input capabilities allow MapForce to perform the most demanding ETL tasks.
New parse-date and parse-time functions - Users must produce a tremendous variety of representations of date and time in data transformation projects. Sometimes an input data stream includes a value that represents only the date or only the time. These two new functions make it easier to process these formats than the existing parse-dateTime function.
Visual alignment guides - Complex data mappings with many components and functions can appear very cluttered on the screen. MapForce 2012 introduces new horizontal and vertical alignment guides to help users organize a mapping as they drag elements into place.
JDBC database driver support - Now, in addition to ODBC and ADO drivers, MapForce 2012 supports JDBC database drivers for database connectivity. When the user clicks the Insert Database toolbar icon or menu selection, the database connection dialog now includes a selection for JDBC drivers.
New Java API - The same features of the new Java API described above in the XMLSpy section are available in MapForce 2012, allowing Java developers to directly manipulate MapForce functionality via the Java API. New API examples for all programming languages demonstrate API functionality much more extensively than previous versions.
Search in Project window - Also as described above in the XMLSpy section, search functionality has been added to the Project window in MapForce 2012. This means users can find files contained in large, complex MapForce projects more easily.

New Java API - The same features of the new Java API described above in the XMLSpy section are available in UModel 2012, allowing Java developers to directly access the Java API. New UModel 2012 API examples demonstrate API functionality much more extensively for all programming languages.

Develop higher-quality, standards-compliant XML based applications more quickly than ever before with the Altova XMLSpy.

The following editions are available:

Updates in 2012

HTML5 support
HTML5 is the latest version of the language for presenting information on Web pages. Version 5 includes numerous improvements that are driving its rapid adoption, including the addition of new elements that make it easier to present multimedia content such as video, audio, dynamic images, and so on, in a standardized way (i.e., without requiring separate software). This helps improve interoperability of Web pages - and Web-based apps - while increasing their sophistication. At the same time, it makes creating rich content for multiple browsers and platforms much simpler for the developer.

XMLSpy has long supported HTML4 and XHTML editing, and even includes an intelligent CSS editor. Now, with Version 2012, XMLSpy introduces intelligent support for editing HTML5 code (and CSS3 stylesheets).

It's easy to write code in the XMLSpy HTML5 editor, which provides context sensitive editing help in both static entry helper windows and drop-down menus that offer allowed element and attribute choices as you type. Code completion also helps speed editing and ensure closed elements.

CSS3 support
The XMLSpy CSS editor now supports CSS3 in addition to CSS2.1. Syntax coloring, context-sensitive entry helper windows and drop-down menus, screen tips, and more assist developers with writing CSS code to style their HTML pages. Similar to working in the HTML editor, you can opt to view your CSS code and resulting HTML page side-by-side as you edit.

JDBC database driver support
As with other database-enabled MissionKit tools, XMLSpy 2012 supports JDBC drivers in addition to existing ODBC and ADO options. JDBC connections are easily configured in the Database Connection Wizard.

Java API
In addition to the existing COM API, XMLSpy 2011 includes a new, native Java API, giving Java developers an easy way to automate XMLSpy and integrate its functionality in their applications. This adds more flexible options for developers to efficiently access XMLSpy functionality from their preferred platform.

New samples for API use
As with other MissionKit tools that include a COM API and the new Java API, XMLSpy 2012 ships with code samples in JScript, C#, and Java to demonstrate how to utilize an API to automate XMLSpy from different development environments.

Find in Project
The power of the Find in Files and Find in Schemas functionality in XMLSpy has now been extended to XMLSpy Projects: simply enter the name of files(s) you need to find, and XMLSpy will locate them instantly. This makes working with even the most complex projects that much easier and efficient.

OpenPGP Library for Java improves key management

Wed, 14 Sep 2011 10:31:56 GMT

Encrypting using OpenPGP Library for Java.

In version 2.5.7, expired and revoked public keys are not accepted for encryption.

OpenPGP Library for Java is a pure Java library that simplifies OpenPGP cryptographic development. Many financial companies and IT departments searching for a proven OpenPGP solution in Java have saved time with this simple yet powerful SDK. OpenPGP for Java allows you to perform common OpenPGP tasks: encrypt, decrypt, sign, sign and encrypt, verify, clear sign, generate OpenPGP keys and more. OpenPGP for Java supports JDK 1.4+ (1.4, 1.5, 1.6) from Sun (now Oracle) or IBM OS Windows, Mac OS X, Solaris, RedHat, SuSE, Ubuntu, AIX, HP-UX, FreeBSD. The encrypted files created with the library are compatible with the OpenPGP standard, and can be opened with PGP software and GnuPG. Runtime Royalty Free.

Updates in 2.5.7

A key change in this release is that by default expired and revoked public keys are not accepted for encryption. If you still wish to use such keys you will have to enable them by calling PGPLib.setUseExpiredKeys(true) and PGPLib.setUseRevokedKeys(true)

Fixed: cleanup of half encrypted files after an exception for all methods.
Fixed: importing keys from PGP 6.5 into a KeyStore
Modified: KeyStore.importPrivateKey now throws also NoPrivateKeyFoundException (extends PGPException) if the specified file does not contain a private key.
Added method: static KeyStore.checkPassword(keystoreFile, password) - checks is a given password for a keystore file correct.
Added method: PGPLib.decryptAndVerifyFileTo - decrypts a file content with its original name(s) into a folder
Added method: PGPLib.decryptAndVerifyStreamTo - decrypts a stream content with its original name(s) into a folder
Added method: PGPLib.setUseExpiredKeys(true) - switches on/off the check are the encryption keys expired
Added method: PGPLib.setUseRevokedKeys(true) - switches on/off the check are the encryption keys revoked
Added method: PGPLib.isUseExpiredKeys() - returns the state of the check are the encryption keys expired
Added method: PGPLib.isUseRevokedKeys() - returns the state of the check are the encryption keys revoked
Added method: KeyPairInformation.checkPassword(password) - checks is a given password for a private key correct.
Added method: KeyPairInformation.hasPrivateKey() - returns is there a private key in this key pair.
Added method: KeyPairInformation.isExpired() - indicates is the public key expired
Added method: KeyPairInformation.isExpiredOnDate(java.util.Date) - checks will the key be expired on a given date
New Exception: Added class com.didisoft.pgp.exceptions.NonPGPDataException (extends PGPException) thrown from all decrypt and decryptAndVerify methods when the supplied for decryption data is not an OpenPGP message.
New Exception: Added class com.didisoft.pgp.exceptions.KeyIsExpiredException (extends PGPException) thrown from all encrypt and signAndEncrypt methods when the supplied public key is expired. Can be suppressed with PGPLib.setUseExpiredKeys(true)
New Exception: Added class com.didisoft.pgp.exceptions.KeyIsRevokedException (extends PGPException) thrown from all encrypt and signAndEncrypt methods when the supplied public key is revoked. Can be suppressed with PGPLib.setUseRevokedKeys(true)

FlexGantt 2.0 released

Thu, 08 Sep 2011 13:55:00 GMT

Navigation sample included with FlexGantt.

Adds selectable links (relationships), menu support for links and new animated tree node expand / collapse operations.

FlexGantt is an advanced Gantt chart user interface component for Swing, which allows its users to interact with project plans and scheduling results. Applications using FlexGantt can customize the Gantt component in almost any way. Not only the rendering and editing of timeline related data can be modified but also the behavior of the entire component. This is accomplished by pluggable policy implementations, where each policy controls the behavior of a certain aspect of the Gantt chart. FlexGantt uses a very high abstraction level, which allows it to be applied in various and often very different domains such as project planning (resources, people, tasks), ERP systems, production planning and scheduling applications, manufacturing execution systems or project portfolio management applications.

Updates in V2.0

Selectable links (relationships)
Menu support for links
Different relationship types (start - end, end - start, start - start, end - end)
Improved graphics performance
Animated tree node expand / collapse operations
All bug fixes from the 1.1.x releases
Macintosh (glossy) style Gantt charts
Easier editing of timeline objects (percentage complete, linking)

oXygen XML Developer V13 launched

Fri, 02 Sep 2011 13:06:00 GMT

XML Editor in oXygen XML Developer.

Provides a simple and intelligent interface for XML and Schema editing.

<oXygen/> XML Developer is an <oXygen/> distribution specially tuned for XML development, providing the coverage of today's XML technologies. It includes: XML editing, XML conversion, XML Schema development, XSLT/ XQuery/ XPath execution and debugging, SOAP and WSDL testing, native XML and relational database support, generation of XSD and XSL documentation, validation and transformation of XML files and XML instance generation.

The following editions are available:

Features

XML Schema - The XML Schema Editor in <oXygen/> is a tool allowing you to design, develop and edit XML Schemas. XML Schemas enable document designers to specify the allowed structure and content of an XML document. <oXygen/> provides an expressive Schema Diagram mode for editing XML Schemas. The structure of the diagram is specially designed to be intuitive and easy to use. The XML Schema diagram helps both the content authors who want to understand a schema and schema designers who develop complex schemas.

XSLT Editor - The XSLT Editor offers a powerful content assistant for the XSL and FO documents and the possibility of selecting from different types of XSLT transformers, including FOP. With oXygen XSLT Editor you can easily create, edit, test and validate XSLT documents. The content assistant will provide the elements, attributes and attribute values specific for XSLT and additionally the elements from the target document. Transformations can be configured to run the XSLT you are creating.

XSLT Debugger - Making use of two XSLT transformation engines, Saxon and Xalan, the <oXygen/> XML Editor helps you spot the bugs that may be present in your XSL stylesheets. XPath dynamic evaluation, step into XPath 2.0 expressions, templates and nodes stacks are just a few of the information presented in the debugging perspective.

XSLT Refactoring - <oXygen/> XML Editor offers a wide range of actions designed to refactor/reorganize the content of XSLT stylesheets.

Integrated Documentation for XSLT Stylesheets - The <oXygen/> XSLT Documentation tool allows you to easily generate full documentation for the XSLT stylesheet components in XHTML format, including comprehensive annotations and cross references.

XML Editor - The text editing mode offers full control on the XML file content to the XML developer. The context sensitive content assistant coupled with automatic validation help you keep the edited file valid all the time. The content assistant of <oXygen/> XML Editor shows only those entries which are valid in the current editing context. In this way the XML document is kept valid most of the time and the user does not have to know about the relations between elements.

XML Grid Editor - The <oXygen/> XML Grid Editor allows the repetitive XML content to be edited in a table-like fashion, similar to a spreadsheet application. This editor provides table oriented operations like row and column addition and deletion and table sorting. You can organize your XML documents by moving nodes around using drag and drop.

XML Validation and Well-Formedness Check - The XML validation can be done by checking the documents against a schema. <oXygen/> XML Editor supports: XML Schema, DTD, Schematron and Relax NG schemas.

XQuery Editor - Editing of XQuery documents benefits of content completion assistance, validation, execution and generation of HTML documentation.

XQuery Debugger - Full debugging support similar with the XSLT Debugger. <oXygen/> XML Editor helps you find and fix the bugs that may be present in your XQuery documents.

oXygen XML Author adds referred content editing

Wed, 31 Aug 2011 10:15:41 GMT

Editing XML in oXygen XML Author.

Version 13 also includes CSS detection from XHTML link elements and change case and word statistics actions.

<oXygen/> XML Author is derived from the oXygen XML Editor IDE, its main features focusing on CSS visual XML editing and XML source editing. Other oXygen XML Author features include: remote editing over FTP, HTTP/WebDAV and HTTPS/WebDAV, database support, subversion (SVN) client, files and directories comparison tools, XML Digital Signature and XML Canonicalization, XPath support, Microsoft Office - Office Open XML (OOXML) and Open Document Format (ODF) support.

The following editions are available:

Updates in V13

Referred Content Quick Editing - A new "Edit Reference" action, available from the contextual menu, allows you to edit referred content by opening the target file containing it and positioning the caret at the precise location where the action was invoked in the main file.
Configure default background and foreground colors - You can now change the default Author background (white) and foreground (black) colors from the preferences. If colors are specified in the CSS file they overwrite the default values.
Author Folding Management Actions - All the actions previously available only in the Text mode for fold management are also available in the Author editing mode when right clicking a fold triangle. Many powerful actions, like collapse/expand child folds, close all other folds or expand/collapse all folds, can be performed from the fold marker contextual menu.
CSS Detection from XHTML link Element - If an XHTML document specifies a CSS using the link element then the CSS is detected and used by the Author mode to render the XHTML content.
New Paste Recovery Strategy: Unwrap - A new recovery strategy was added when using the schema-aware editing mode. This is particularly useful when pasting content from office applications or the web browser. The content is automatically converted to match the editor schema when editing DITA, DocBook, TEI or HTML. In some cases additional wrapper elements may result after the conversion and these are automatically removed by this strategy if they are found to be invalid at the insertion point.
Change Case and Word Statistics Actions - Four new actions allow you to convert the selected content to upper case, lower case or to capitalize sentences and words. There is also a new action that counts the number of words and characters from the current opened file.
