Woodstock Project for Web Apps

Sun has wheeled out a new open source project for developing web applications dubbed Project Woodstock. According to Sun, the project has code that will allow NetBeans Visual Web Pack 5.5 for easy web application development via dragging and dropping components onto a layout page.

The Project Woodstock comprises tools from navigation (Tree, Tab, Breadcrumb) to selectors (ListBox, AddRemove) to date management (Calendar, Scheduler) to a Masthead (with Alarm and Job Status notification), the company said.

The project will add more features in the third quarter of this year, including an Ajax calendar and some Ajax-enabled navigation components for Woodstock's 4.1 release, Sun said.
