Bug#907548: O: libjgraphx-java -- Java Swing Diagramming Library
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I intend to orphan the libjgraphx-java package. I haven't done anything for year.
AFAIK, Scilab is the biggest user of this library.
It is frozen by design because, when I was maintaining it, upstream was doing
a lot of changes in the API, making update of versions pretty hard.
Maybe we should have the jgraphx version used by Scilab and another package
for the last version...
The package description is:
JGraph X is based on the mxGraph architecture, a re-designed core based
on JGraph experience.
.
The new library API is designed to provide a much lower learning curve as
well as making the feature set easier to extend and integrate. Sharing the
model code base of mxGraph, the web diagramming library, enabling applications
written in Java to be more easily ported to mxGraph-based web applications.
.
Overall, JGraph X provides more features that JGraph, with a far smaller code
size and complexity. Redesigning the codebase from scratch now means
implementing common feature extensions are easier and require less coding.
A number of new loosely coupled application-centric features have been added,
making prototyping even faster, without their usage restricting application
flexibility.
