Description

Packages

net.sf.genuine	The Organizer class is Genuine's central mechanism to start a client application.
net.sf.genuine.actions	Genuine provides Action classes for functionality that is common to many client applications.
net.sf.genuine.exceptions	Genuine internally uses two exception classes for all its exceptions: GenuineException for checked exceptions and GenuineRuntimeException for unchecked exceptions.
net.sf.genuine.logging	Logging is done using the JDK's own logging facilities.
net.sf.genuine.organizer	This package contains all classes and interfaces a client application needs to use Genuine.
net.sf.genuine.organizer.internal	Internal interfaces and the organizer's default implementation.
net.sf.genuine.preferences	Contains the infrastructure for storing preferences, including a preferences dialog.
net.sf.genuine.preferences.general	Contains general preferences pages that may be used by any application.
net.sf.genuine.resources	Resources like texts, images, tooltips, etc., are first-level artefacts.
net.sf.genuine.services	Genuine defines default services that are common to many client applications each of which comes with default actions defined in the net.sf.genuine.actions package.
net.sf.genuine.swing	Some of Swing's classes had to be enhanced to fit into the framework.
net.sf.genuine.tools	This package contains helper classes and tools that don't fit anywhere else.

Genuine is a client framework for Java Swing applications for which it provides basic infrastructure. It is intended to support the development of client applications for typical information systems. These systems normally consist of many forms and dialogs for editing business data. They may or may not contain local business logic.

Genuine's main concepts are:

• Decoupling: The functionality of a client application is split into modules. Modules can be implemented independently to a large degree. They are connected by sending messages to each other or by calling local services.
• Separation of presentation and functionality: A module may contain an arbitrary number of visual panels for presentation and local services that contain the module's core functionality.
• Configuration: Configuration files in XML determine at runtime which modules are added to an application.

Because it is possible to prevent dependencies between modules of the same type (for example forms for editing business data), modules can be easily added to multiple client applications without changing their source code.

Like many other project names, "Genuine" is an acronym. It either stands for "GENeric User INterfacE" or, recursively, for "GENuine User INterfacE". Make your own choice...
