The Vine Toolkit

Submitted by piotr.dziubecki on Fri, 07/11/2008 - 10:14

Vine is a modular, extensible Java library that offers developers an easy-to-use, high-level Application Programmer Interface (API) for Grid-enabling applications. Vine can be deployed for use in desktop, Java Web Start, Java Servlet 2.3 and Java Portlet 1.0 environments with ease. Plus Vine supports a wide array of middleware and third-party services, so you can focus on your applications and not lose focus on the Grid!

Today we rearranged documentation pages in the 'Docs' section. The old 'Vine Toolkit 1.1 Guides' document is a base for a new two guides: Vine Admin Guide and Vine Developer's Guide. The first one is more about configuration and deployment of provided framework and the second for developers wanting to add new functionality to Vine ( both application and service layer will be covered ).

Currently we are in the middle of the reorganization and if you want to get previous version of 'Vine Toolkit 1.1 Guides' please download its pdf version.

From today on Vine Toolkit supports the Flex 4 compiler and syntax. Unfortunately Flex 4 is not fully backward compatible so your existing Flex 3 apps need to be enhanced. Currently we provide two options, use Vine bundles ( version <= 1.2 ) with Flex 3 SDK or latest Vine from the SVN with the Flex 4 SDK.
