Minor release 1.0.1 ready for download

I just fixed some minor items inluding issue 78. The PMManager now caches the results of reflection calls.  This leads to a performance boost of aprox. 75% when calling PMManager.setup(this).

For a complete list of changes please see the changelog.

Finally Beanfabrics 1.0.0 released

Good things come to those who wait.

I have heard somewhere from someone that german developers tend to feel never comfortable with their software products. They almost always have some "important" enhancements in mind that they have to implement before that "prototype" can be released.

So what's about Beanfabrics?
  • Since the beginning in 2008 the Beanfabrics framework had a version number starting with "0". 
  • I run Beanfabrics successfully at some of my customers for 3 years. 
  • Since 2 years I haven't done any major changes to the API.
Well, that's clear.

Finally I decided to take the next major step and raised the version number of the new release to "1".

Happy Birthday, Beanfabrics :-)

Beanfabrics Controller Pattern

Again I have updated the demo section. The album list and the BnCommander have been refactored according to the Beanfabrics controller pattern.

The Beanfabrics controller pattern bundles a top level view component with its presentation model and the required service.

Demo applications updated

During the last few days I have updated the demo section of the Beanfabrics homepage.

My intention was to give you some simple real world examples of how to use the Beanfabrics framework for building Java desktop applications. You now find there a very simple FTP browser and a Norton Commander style application for browsing the local file system. Both applications can be started online via Java Web Start, and for both I added a download link to the source code.
