 Client Side Comparison
 Here is a matrix outlining the
features of JDesignerPro. JDesignerPro leads our
competitors in several features. We have been developing
JDesignerPro since October 1995. Release 1.0 was in
August 1996, making it the most mature Java tool
available. JDesignerPro is not an old product simply
remade for Java, as are products like Cafe and VJ++. It
was designed from the ground up in Java, for network
computing. The BulletProof team has been able to build a
tool from scratch that incorporates the kind of features
we wished traditional tools like VB and PowerBuilder had.
If you're still wondering whether Java is mainstream and
up to the task of creating real applications take a close
look at JDesignerPro. Being 100% Java we're sure you'll
agree that if JDP looks this good and runs this well then
surely the applications you will create with it will be
just as good. The same is not true with tools like Cafe
and VJ++ that are written in C++.

Visual
Coding refers to the Interaction Manager
(I.M.) which is the first system to expose all
methods and parameters for components for easy
creation of Java code.------------------------------------------
Menu
Structure is a feature that makes it easy to
build and modify a hierarchy of application
screens. The Menu Structure is tightly aligned
with the Access Control.
Access
Control refers to the built-in mechanism to
require login to the system, usable in any
application.
Application
Delivery is the feature which tracks users
and groups and serves only the application
modules to a user for which that user is
authorized.
- Application
Partitioning is a term used to mean the
ability to choose to place logic, processes and
events on the server or the client. You may also
have an event kick off actions both on the server
and the client simultaneously.
- WYSIWYG Design means
that as you are developing, the components look
and are placed exactly as they will on the
compiled, deployed screen. The data components
also display the data during design. We can claim
this exclusively because JDesignerPro is
currently the only system to have employed the
Java Layout Managers in the design phase, not
just after the compile, as do products like
CafePro.
