2008-09-15 JET 6.1 Support for Google Chrome Browser
JET 6.1 supports most popular browsers. In particular:
- Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8
- Firefox 2 and 3
- Safari 3 and 4
- Opera 8 and 9

With the apparition of Google, Chrome, we have added a further browser to the supported list. Chrome will be officially supported when it moves out of beta, but we have now run a large number of tests on Chrome 0.2.153.1 and JET 6.1 without any problems.

2008-09-15 JET 6.1 Support for Java 6 Update 10 JET has always supported the current version of Java.
With Sun preparing to release Java 6 update 10, this is no exception. The latest version of Java, although presented as a simple update provides a large number of new features, particularly concerning deployment. JET 6.1 supports many of these new applet-deployment possibilities from the onset.

2008-07-15 JET 6.1 More Support for Distributed Nuts
JET’s support for SaaS applications has made a giant jump forwards with the introduction of Distributed Nuts. These components allow the application to be divided between the server and the client (generally a browser) by keeping the database-intensive code on the server and moving interactive code such as User Interface control or interactive graphics to the client. Obviously, if the client browser refuses to run Applets, both Server and Client functionality is run on the server and the User Interface is rendered by the JET JavaScript module running in the browser. With JET 6.1 Distributed Nuts have been improved for cases where the application generates graphics using Java2D on the client and needs to render the same graphics using jpeg or png files in JavaScript mode.

E-government site opens in Neuchâtel, Switzerland
The Swiss canton of Neuchâtel has introduced its new secure e-government platform. Based on JET 4.3.3, it will progressively cover all domains in the control of the cantonal government: taxes, car registrations and inspections, land and building ownership and insurance. The system federates a large number of legacy systems based on 34 databases, some dating back to the 1970’s.

Yellow-B was founded in 2000 by a group of developers who had been working together on Java projects since 1998. The company is based in Epalinges, near Lausanne in Switzerland, 40 miles from Geneva airport. The company has specialized in Java development, both on client and on server. After a number of projects, we developed JET, initially a client framework to work with J2EE. JET has progressively expanded to provide the backbone for server, client and standalone applications on J2EE, J2SE and J2ME. With JET project control, we have a system to develop and maintain projects of every size and description. JET has now taken on a life of its own as customers and partners have started to use it for their own projects.

Projects now underway comprise:

Development of enterprise Internet Portals using BEA Weblogic portal, JSP and EJB technology as well as the Apache equivalents.
Development of EJB-based systems using the BEA Weblogic EJB container as well as the Open-source JBoss container.
Database design based on the Oracle 8i database.
Development of Java application deployment suites (JET/D and the MyComponents.com Factory).
Development of J2ME clients for EJB-based systems
Creation of ERP development guidelines in J2EE.
JMX-enabled JSP and EJB flow control system.
Various standalone applications based on J2SE and J2ME.

Yellow-B is in the process of opening a branch office in Brussels Belgium. The development staff is comprised of five consultants. It is expected that the number will rise to ten by early next year. Projects include:

Development of enterprise Internet Portals using BEA Weblogic portal, JSP and EJB technology.
Jini-based applications.
Development of various modules for the JET/C project.

Yellow-B is combination of highly-experienced Java specialists can take on projects from large transactional applications to the smallest portable phone based client. We normally work in two phases:

Definition of the customers needs and creation of complete specifications, if necessary with a reference prototype of the more complex parts of the application.
Creation of the application on a fixed-price or time and materials basis.
At the end of the first phase, the customer is free to ask for quotes from other suppliers and give the development phase to a third party if they so wish.
