Project Description

Uncle Unc is a framework for working with trees of objects. Existing services such as filesystems, code libraries, networks, log files, mailboxes and directories can be mapped onto this object tree, as can some traditional desktop applications. User interfaces work directly with the object tree, offering best of breed interface design (e.g. filtering, breadcrumb bars, paging, sorting, and file-explorer-like views) across the full range of services. The framework promotes clean design, completeness of representation, and reusability of both front end and back end code.

0.25.5

Problems with the GroupTabPane widget have been
resolved, allowing it to automatically deduce what
groupings an objects' fields, methods, and children fall
into if no hints are provided. The XML format for
persisting object trees has been modified to no longer
require ad-hoc tag names, allowing a formal DTD to be
developed. (Ad hoc tags are still supported by the
reader for backwards compatibility.) A revised third-
party libraries bundle has been posted, as the previous
version was corrupt.

responsiveness of the system have been made.

0.25.0

Any Uncle Unc View can now be written as an XML stream. A simple HTTP server for serving these views has been developed, as well as a set of client classes, allowing for a thin client-style networking approach to Unc, with possible applications for file-sharing, remote groupware, and administration of network services for small devices. A number of refactorings of the code base have also been undertaken in order to improve flexibility and reusability of the user interface.
