Welcome to TeamDev

As a result of MIIK Ltd. reorganization, two independent software development companies have been formed: Validio Ukraine and TeamDev Ltd.
Welcome to the TeamDev Ltd. company web site.
As a development company TeamDev will specialize in Java enterprise and desktop development and will continue developing products based on JNIWrapper technology. We are actively working on several new products that will be announced and rolled out really soon.
Please note that we are completing the transition period, so you may see traces of MIIK Ltd. at JNIWrapper site for some time.
Visit us soon for more news.

Welcome to a new version of the site

As you already know, we've expanded the pool of products, now carrying not only the JNIWrapper itself and WinPack, but also JExplorer and Mac OS X version of JNIWrapper, which we are going to release really soon (our apologies to those who we keep waiting). With several new products we are planning to introduce, we've realized that we need to re-think the web site organization and design.
The new design is probably the first thing that catches your eye. Take some time to scratch the surface and to try the new navigation that combines the "bread crumbs" technology with the site menu.
We would love to hear what you think of the new site. Drop us a line or speak at forums.

JNIWrapper Beta for Mac OS X, WinPack 2.3

Today the JNIWrapper Team is proud to present the first Beta release of JNIWrapper for Mac OS X.

You can download JNIWrapper for Mac OS X, and evaluate it during 30 days and submit us your comments or suggestions. By the time your trial version expires, JNIWrapper for Mac OS X will be available for purchase.

Your feedback on this Beta version is highly appreciated. Please use the support or feedback to contact developers if you have questions or suggestions regarding this new product.

Also, do not miss the new online JNIWrapper for Mac OS X Demo application that demonstrates some Mac OS X integration features.

In the new release of WinPack 2.3 library we have added two new features: API for DDE and System Event LogAPI. Both these features are presented in appropriate samples of the renewed WinPack Demo application.

Check the What's New pages to see the detailed list of changes fot JNIWrapper Beta for Mac OS X and Winpack.

JNIWrapper Beta for Mac OS X

JNIWrapper for Mac OS X supports all declared features, such as function native function calls, callbacks, various data types, automatic mamory management, etc.

Additionally, this version provides the samples for integration with Carbon framework (analogue of Win32 API for Windows) and its visual components, such as Open/Save File, Choose Folder, Choose Color dialogs and Native Windows.

Also, in this version we have implemented the FileSystemWatcher class that uses kqueue and kevent system functions of Mac OS X kernel. This class is analogue of our FileSystemWatcher class that we already made on Windows platform.

NOTE: Integration with all visual Carbon components works correctly under JDK 1.3 only. Invocation of them under JDK 1.4 may fail and even crash a Java application. But all not-visual features of Carbon library will work correctly on both JDKs.

JNIWrapper 2.3 for Windows

We had a tough start of the year... Our customers, after refreshing holidays, submitted a good bunch of support requests to us. Some of them were interesting features requests and others were our drawbacks.

We made several delays of this version release willing to include as many changes as possible. Check the What's New page to see the list of major changes.

We mostly concentrated on COM support in this release and added enhancements to the run-time and code generation process that should make the integration easier. Thus, this is mostly a maintenance release with several useful features.

It appears that our documentation goes one step behind the development. We have started a massive update of our guides, samples, faqs and so on. And we are planning to concentrate on it later on.

Because of numerous support requests about integration with Microsoft Office applications, we have added appropriate samples into the distribution.

From now on, JNIWrapper 1.x for Windows is no longer available for purchase.

JNIWrapper 2.2 for Windows

Having analyzed the requests our support receives, we understood that it is important to provide an easy-to-use GUI utility for code generation. This release introduces the initial version of Code Generator for JNIWrapper with User Interface. To start the code generator with UI, simply start the Codegen.bat without parameters.

Also we have improved the OleContainer reliability and allowed inserting already created OLE component into the container.

Starting from this release, API documentation is distributed separately. You can download the complete documentation set at any time or access it online from the site.

Check the What's New page to see the list of all changes.

JNIWrapper 2.0 Release Date

Probably, this is not exactly the message you expected to see on the JNIWrapper News channel. But we have to admit that the release of JNIWrapper 2.0 is already quite late from what was originally planned.
We were almost ready to release the JNIWrapper 2.0 for Windows which mainly brings new COM/OLE/ActiveX integration functionality along with other minor enhancements. But having done another critical overview of what we were going to publish, we decided that it is not as good as we want it to be.
During the last two weeks we have received a great volume of feedback on COM integration functionality introduced in Beta version and we keep receiving new comments. We would like to thoroughly address your requests.
Our intention is to make a new version of JNIWrapper a real step forward. Therefore, this news is not about the new version release but about its delay.
What are the enhancements we are working on now:
  • Better JNIWrapper API documentation.
  • More COM Integration examples in WinPack Demo (Internet Explorer and Shockwave Flash).
  • Easier code generation.
  • All depricated API removal.
  • Customers feedback on Beta version processing.
All the changes listed above require another week of work.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you all for your support and patience. Stay connected.
