Updated release of UD6 2.1.05.1164, Eclipse IDE for Uniface source code and the Swiss and French Summer Tour. We have just released a minor update to UD6 plus Option Pack, including source code for the Eclipse IDE for Uniface both with and without support for Component Variables. This allows people who are interested in contributing code to the project to see exactly how easy it is to add support for new "entities" and also wire items into the code completion engine. Just compare the included main codeline with the source code for the UXREGS codeline - it's that simple! The contribution period has been extended until the end of July, and later contributions may be accepted from some customers. To be a part of the team developing the Eclipse IDE for Unfiace get in touch today! Udo Pott and I have been visiting customers and Uniface User Group gatherings, looking at what you are doing with UD6 - and time and again we've seen things that we're sure other Uniface developers would also want to see. So now we have a new web site specifically for showing off 'best practice' stories of using UD6 with standard development tools and processes: continuous integration, quality assurance, code review and more. Want to see? Eclipse IDE for Uniface 6, 7, 8 and 9 (UD6IDE) Udo Pott presented the latest development build at the Uniface User Group in Boulogne-Billancourt and was also at the Uniface User Group Event in Maidenhead UK. Udo presented earlier editions at Uniface User Group in Darmstadt Germany as well as at the Switzerland Uniface User Group, and I also presented at the North American Uniface User Group in Las Vegas as well as at the Dutch Uniface User Group in Haarzuilens, The Netherlands. A video of the Dutch Presentation (in English) is available online, it includes the web services explorer, command completion, refactoring, multi-trigger editor, model editor, global search, and more. We've been advertising for years that when your Uniface source repository is stored in UD6 text files then you can use any editor, and now with this open source project you can use the most popular and powerful editor ever designed, not just for Uniface developers, but developers of all languages. We will be accepting code contributions until JULY 2014, then some time after that we will make a stable release available in a download package. The UD6IDE is usable today and included in the UD6+Option Pack 'complete' install, but is recommended primarily for Uniface and Java developers contributing to the development of the IDE. You can find our release plans for UD6IDE as well as what is already implemented, what is yet to be implemented, how to configure UD6 to work with UD6IDE and how to get the source code and contribute to the project by reading the library article. Swiss and French Summer 2014 Tour If you would like a presentation of the Eclipse IDF PoC, or of Uniface Version Control/UD6 at your workplace or user group in Switzerland or France, or to register for the tour please contact sales@march-hare.com for an appointment.
Getting Involved in UD6IDE For the development of the Eclipse IDE for Uniface to be successful, we need many Uniface developers involved in 'filling out' some of the functionality, in particular:
In the next few weeks we'll be supplying more guides to developing UD6IDE to assist contributors. To sign up for specific tasks, please send sales@march-hare.com a quick email letting us know your interest so we can get some paperwork to you (copyright assignments, login codes etc.). The more that the community get involved the better the final product will me - not simply because it's had more hours, but because it's a multi-layered story built with many points of view. UD6 2.1.05 Build 1164 UD6 2.1.05 Build 1164 has been tested with Uniface 9.6.04 and is available now.
Trials, Extensions and Evaluation Assistance If you have an expired trial of UD6, we can supply time extensions, and if you are having difficulties getting the ASN files and configuration right - don't despair, help is just an email away. Most customers evaluating UD6 (or long time customers implementing a new feature) do need help at some point, please do not hesitate to get in touch via sales@march-hare.com.
Sincerely,
