UIM/X Platinum Toolsuite

Cross-Platform GUI Builder for Motif, Java, and Windows

UIM/X Platinum Toolsuite Edition is a comprehensive tool for creating portable Graphical User Interfaces for Java, MS Windows and Motif applications. By fully supporting both off-the-shelf and customized portable GUI components, UIM/X Platinum Toolsuite Edition's Object Orientation allows developers to create robust native user interfaces that excel in performance over traditional least common denominator, emulation, or proprietary API technologies.

With UIM/X Platinum Toolsuite Edition on UNIX, you create interfaces that are portable across hardware platforms (PC and Workstations) and native windowing toolkits (Java, Windows and Motif), saving man-years of effort and investment when creating powerful, portable, non-proprietary applications.

Cross Platform Design, Migration, and Refinement

UIM/X Platinum Toolsuite Edition (PTE) vastly extends the ability of UIM/X users to design platform independent interfaces to:

• Develop cross platform interfaces from a single source with multiple targets (Native Motif, Native Windows, Pure Java).
• Build "flip of the switch" cross platform capability into their Motif applications for future deployment on Windows and/or Java.
• Migrate their Motif interfaces to the Windows/NT platform while preserving their legacy code to the fullest extent possible.
• Migrate their Motif interfaces to the Java platform while preserving their legacy code to the fullest extent possible.
• Access the full power of UIM/X, the most widely used GUI Builder for Motif, for cross-platform application development in Motif C/C++, Windows C/C++, or 100% Pure Java.

Productivity Enhancement with UIM/X Platinum ToolSuite Edition

In addition to the features found in UIM/X, UIM/X Platinum ToolSuite Edition includes:

• The new generation of CPT: a progressive palette of cross platform GUI components (Native Motif, Native Windows, 100% Pure Java).
• Extensible converters: Motif to Java, Motif to Windows, Windows to Java. Conversion includes layout, constraint, and behavior.
• Comprehensive Java extension to UIM/X.
• New Java only mode to build Java applets or applications.
• Graphical Connection Editor, Graphical Constraint Editor,
• Declaration Editor, etc. now make Java development easier than ever!
• New Java form layout manager provides Motif-like form management capabilities.
• Generates fully JDK 1.1 compliant, 100% Pure Java code with JavaBean compliant event handling.
• Rich Java component palette and the ability to create your own reusable Java components.
• Unique Migration Assistant technology helps port Motif code to Java by analyzing your code and suggesting the proper Java replacement.
• Additional benefit of the familiarity that UIM/X, the most widely used GUI Builder for Motif, offers to the Java environment.

Complete Migration Offering

Platinum migration technology incorporates the two key components to effective migration- Conversion and Refinement.

Platinum was architected to convert complex interfaces to the target platform to the greatest degree possible. Platinum converters are fully extensible, allowing you to convert not only your layout, but also your form constraints as well as a considerable portion of your dialogue behavior.

Once the interfaces are converted, UIM/X's Java Development Mode completes the migration cycle. Leveraging their expertise in UIM/X, developers can refine their converted interface in pure Java. The tool offers such a robust implementation of a Java development environment, users will find that it provides a seamless migration path from UNIX/ Motif to Java.
