Simplicity for Java lets you focus on designing great Java applets and applications without worrying about the details of the Java language.

Simplicity for Java lets you build Java applications and applets interactively. Quickly drop Java Layouts, AWT Components, Simplicity’s own extended components, Swing Components and third party Java Beans into your application.

Simplicity features on-the-fly execution of Java source code, enabling your applications to run as you design them. This dynamic execution reduces the traditional, three step, Code-Compile-Test, software development process to a single step: Design.

Features

Simplicity Composer
Graphically design your Java apps by choosing parts from a palette and dropping them into place. Every part can easily be customized from the Simplicity editor with just the click of a mouse.

Parts Palette
Use any of the standard Java components in your applications or choose from Simplicity's extended components that give you enhanced functionality like multi-line labels, text field validation, progress bar, and animation capabilities. Simplicity also supports the JavaBeans standard, so you can always import third party components.

Event handling
Learning the complexities of the Java 1.1 event model can be one of the most difficult parts of Java programming. Simplicity for Java makes it a snap! Just choose the kind of event to listen for and Simplicity for Java will take care of the rest. You can add any Java code you'd like to any event. Don't know Java? That's ok. The Code Sourcerer will write it for you!

Code Sourcerer
The Code Sourcerer will interview you to determine what you want to have happen in response to events. By making simple choices and answering a few questions you can leverage the power of Java without learning Java.

Java Execution Engine
This is the heart of what makes Simplicity for Java so powerful. The Java Execution Engine is a Java interpreter that constantly watches for any change that you make to your program and instantly updates your working model. Change just a single letter and your model instantly reflects that change!

Simplicity IDE
The Simplicity Integrated Design Environment makes building large, multiple window programs easy! It also organizes all the files associated with your project such as graphics, sounds, Java source and class files, and any data files your program may need as well. The Simplicity IDE also handles the compiling of all of the generated code for you.

Simplicity for Java is certified 100% Pure Java
Simplicity is written completely in Java 1.1, so it can run on any computer that has a Java 1.1 (or greater) Java Development Kit available. This means that you can use Simplicity for Java on Win95/NT, OS/2 Warp, Linux, MacOS, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, and many other operating systems as well. The code that Simplicity for Java generates is also completely written in Java 1.1, so your programs will work on all of these platforms as well!
