NPAC WebFoil 0.1 is implemented as a standalone Java application (not an applet), constructed by extending HotJava version alpha3.
|
The whole browser package from the Java/Hotjava release is overloaded by WebFoil.
-
Technically, the browser code is copied to a separate WebFoil development/release directory and freely modified there.
-
CLASSPATH variable is set in such a way that Java compiler thinks WebFoil browser package is the native Java browser package.
|
All other packages, i.e. all "Java foundation classes" are left intact.
-
As these classes form the core of the Beta release, porting WebFoil to beta Java should be straightforward after/if beta HotJava is available.
|
Apart from modifying browser package, WebFoil also adds one more class package called 'presenter'.
-
It includes tools such as on-line FoilHTML editor, dynamic menubar handler, foilset manager, and the attribute database manager.
