AcuXUI | Java-based Cross-platform User Interface
Suppose you could write one graphical program and run it anywhere - on UNIX®, Linux®, Macintosh®, or Windows®. Suppose users could run your program as a Java applet. What would that mean to your business? A larger market. Reduced maintenance. Happier customers. With AcuXUI, you execute graphical COBOL programs from a Java command line. This lets you run your program on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment. At long last, you can run the same graphical user interface (GUI) on virtually any operating system, and you can do it from COBOL.
AcuXUI is a user interface engine that allows graphical ACUCOBOL-GT® programs to exhibit their user interfaces on multiple platforms, including UNIX and Linux.
Rather than relying on Windows technologies to display graphical controls, AcuXUI takes advantage of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE), which can run on virtually any operating system. For this reason, you can run graphical ACUCOBOL-GT programs on platforms such as UNIX, Linux, and Macintosh, as well as Windows. Programmed accordingly, you can even run the same program, without modification, on all of these platforms.
With AcuXUI, you can:
-
Give UNIX or Linux applications a GUI
-
Deliver the same graphical program on multiple platforms
-
Run your program on any machine that supports the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.5 or later
-
Deploy COBOL programs from the Java command line and Eclipse
-
Deploy COBOL programs from a Java applet on a Web page
A key element of the extend®8 family of solutions, AcuXUI can be used alone or in tandem with all of the Acucorp technologies.
