Incompatibilities

• The protected method IlvGraphLayout.createLayoutReport() is now public.
• The default value of the additionalNodeRepulsionWeight parameter in IlvUniformLengthEdgesLayout is now 0.2 instead of 0.
• The performance improvement in the styling library has modified the order in which the declarations are applied. Note that, so far, the order has been unspecified, but stable. Now the declarations are applied in the order in which they appear in the style sheet. Changing the order may lead to incompatibilities, especially with beans that do not have commutative setters. This incompatibility does not affect JViews objects.

General Changes

• A palette of charts has been added. To be able to use it, you need an installation of JViews Charts and a valid license. See the Dashboard Editor documentation for details.
• Eclipse/RCP support:
  • Eclipse/RCP applications have to deal with class loaders. Each Eclipse plugin has its own class loader. The access to classes and resources is restricted to those defined by the plugin or its dependencies. JViews applications may need resources coming from different, unrelated plugins. You can register the class loaders of these plugins in the new class IlvClassLoaderUtil to make sure JViews finds them, despite the fact that they are not all reachable from a single class loader.
  • The integration of JViews components into SWT applications has been improved through a new set of utilities (ilog.views.util.swt).
  • JViews Graph Layout for Eclipse GEF - The graph layout Eclipse plugin integrates JViews Graph Layout with GEF. With this plugin, you can enable the JViews Graph Layout in an existing GEF application effortlessly. It comes with a sample plugin Graph Layout Gallery Example.
• Applet support:
  • All resource bundles of JViews are now loaded through the IlvResourceUtil class. This class allows to configure applets so that they no longer attempt to load resources unsuccessfully over the network for locale bundles that do not exist. This speeds up the startup time of applets that run in browsers with a different locale than the locales provided by the applet.
  • BeanInfos have been provided to speed up the styling of JViews Diagrammer applets. Therefore, the standard Introspector no longer attempts to search unsuccesfully for the BeanInfo over the network before creating it dynamically through reflection.
• The performance of CSS styling has been improved:
  • The matching of the selectors has become more efficient when the style sheet has selectors with many different CSS types or with many different IDs.
  • The execution of the declarations has become more efficient when the same declarations apply to many different objects.
  • Expressions in CSS declarations now take less time to evaluate.
  • Constants as CSS declaration values now take less time to evaluate.
• The link layout support has been added to the Dashboard Editor and the IlvDashboardDiagram API.
• The Dashboard binary file format has been added.
• The graph layout library now provides optimized routing of spline links.
• The Hierarchical layout now provides optional leveling strategies.
• The IlvURLGraphic now also supports PNG, GIF and JPG formats.
