JAPI
JAPI (Java Extension API) is a LGPL library to make the development of small to medium sized Java command line and desktop applications more comfortable. JAPI was originally developed by Christian Hujer as part of the JackSemmel XML editor in 2000. It got later reused and expanded for the Gridarta map editor for Crossfire and Daimonin. The project went dormant when Christian Hujer had no more time to maintain Gridarta.
To help clients with their work on utility applications, Nelkinda is now resuming work on JAPI. For that, JAPI is being rebuilt from scratch, using the latest features of Java 8.
The new JAPI is available through Maven Central.
Version Numbers
Currently, JAPI is in restart-phase. During restart, releases will not be backwards-compatible. Once the restart-phase is finished, JAPI will follow Semantic Versioning.
