A Java Windowing Toolkit for Text Terminals

Applications

Have you developed an application based on the CHARVA library? If so, please send me a project description, screenshots and/or a project logo and I will insert a link to your project on this page.

Craig O'Shannessy has developed a Charva-based application for UndercoverWear that runs on ruggedized mobile computers mounted on forklift trucks. Each mobile computer has an 8-row by 40-column screen and a pass-thru printer, and Telnets using a radio link into a Linux box. The back-end is an EJB-based application running on jBoss. Here's a recent message from Craig:

"I've been using Charva commercially for about 2 years, with no problems at all. I'm only using it on about 7 terminals, but they are going hell for leather (vehicle RF terminals mounted on trolleys with scanners and printers), all together all day."

Adrian Papari used Charva in his GILoT project (Generic Interpretative Log Tail).

"First I would like to thank you for all the work you must have put into Charva. It really is a nice idea, implemented very well.... I am using Charva to provide a text-mode administrative interface for our product which is a Linux-based server.... I decided I would use gcj (the GNU compiler for Java) to create a native executable. The speed it runs at now is very impressive, you wouldn't know it was written in Java!" (Nick Liebmann)

"Our business unit CPP within the SteelCompany Corus in Ijmuiden (Holland) uses your Charva application now for 6 months with success and I want to thank you for all the blood sweat and tears that you have put into the application. We are using your application as a user-interface for our mobile terminals in cranes and trucks and the application - which runs under AIX - proved itself as fast, stable and maintainable."
