Frequently asked questions

1.What can I do with that software ?
1.a.	To see all features, have a look at the readme.html file. In some words, 
	the jartifex project provides you the following:
		- you can develop java programs through configuring xml files , but you can 
		  extend it with own java code (see documentation.html)
		- you can create automatically a jartifex application (swing gui) through a given relational
		  database (see the example application_generator.bat).
		- you can use the TslShell. This is a shell implementation that lets you define
		  needed commands by yourself. Basicly this shell provides you a lot of standard commands.
		  (see tools/shell.bat or TslShell.txt)
		- you can use the tsl.jar as a java library that provides you a lot of features.
		  (see readme.html and the javadoc documentation packed inside the framedoc.zip)

2.Is there any program I can start now ?
2.a.	You can start directly the reference implementation 'Timesheet' with the timesheet.bat or timesheet.linux!
	This starts first a database for the timesheet and then the jartifex timesheet. For more informations
	see timesheet/doc/timesheet_doc.html.
	You can start the SqlUtil.bat! This starts an easy sql query tool that you can configure for your own.
	You can start the application_generator.bat that creates a jartifex application from the given timesheet database.
	You can start the tools/shell. First you have to start the setup.bat to set the jartifex_home variable.
	You can start the miniguidesigner, showing you a graphical way to create jartifex applications.
	You can start the beanvisualizer inside the TslShell. This lets you browse/edit/show any java bean in a simple way.

3.Why should I use your software. There are lots of libraries and software doing parts of jartifex ?
3.a.	Jartifex is extremly small and does the most needed things (for standard application developers)
	implemented in only one library (see features in readme.html). Everything provided by jartifex
	is extremly configurable (for example GUI elements and Shellcommands). Use the application-generator to create
	a database application through a given database (modify the created xml files).
	
4.Why did you write this software ?
4.a.	This software was built through years of java developing and all algorithms of the develop experiences
	are included into this library.
