Java 2 (JDK 1.2) & JFC/Swing
Visaj 2.1 works with both JDK 1.1 and Java 2 (formerly JDK
1.2). There is extensive and unique level of
support for Sun's Java Foundation Class (JFC) Swing
components, including the javax.swing naming. The entire set of JFC/Swing components can be
loaded into Visaj's palette. Complex layouts can be
constructed with the help of Visaj's BoxLayout Editor, and
full access is given to all of the built-in children of
JFC/Swing composite components.
Visaj is THE Java GUI Builder.
Image Editing
Visaj 2 comes with an Advanced Image Editor. This can load an existing image, and apply any special filters as well as providing the standard drawing tools. Alternatively create your own image or icon, and take advantage of such facilities as the pixel placement of text.
User Interface
Visaj has taken a no holds barred view of Java development. One of the crucial areas of putting together a Java application is the user interface. IST's Visaj includes a visual builder that outperforms any other visual builder found in any Java tool. It is easier to use, and makes prototyping faster and
development more productive.
Graphical Event
"Hot-Wiring"
Configuring events is fast and easy. Simply draw a line between the source and destination components in the Visaj containment hierarchy to invoke a ready primed event-binding wizard. Visaj also supports multi-argument methods and Bean properties passed as method arguments.
Rapid Java Application Development
Visaj brings an exciting new approach to building Java applications. Its unique way of constructing the visual interface and wiring it into the non-visual application makes Visaj the easiest and fastest way to build your Java applications.
Live Window, Live Action
Any component added to your design and any property set within Visaj will immediately be active in the live window. Even events play straight away, no waiting for a compile cycle.

100% Pure Java
Written totally in Java, Visaj can run anywhere where Java
runs. It integrates with any JavaBean, and generates 100% Java code.
Visual Class and Layout Editors
The Visual Class Editor delivers fast construction of Java user interfaces by providing a point-and-click palette of components and a design tree showing the containment hierarchy. To meet Java's promise of complete portability of your application across all platforms, your application needs to take full advantage of Java's layouts (Border, GridBag, etc.). Visaj delivers a powerful set of visual layout editors to make even the most deeply nested layouts easy to design.
Run with any IDE
Visaj is an ideal companion to any Integrated Development
Environment (IDE) by providing advanced visual building
capabilities often lacking in standard IDEs. The product's
open environment enables it to work with any IDE, such as
Sun's Forte for Java and Java Workshop.
Resource Bundles
Take advantage of Java's support for Internationalization using Visaj's Resource Bundle Editor. Build up a table of variants for all languages your application supports, and Visaj will generate the necessary Java files for you.
Bridging from Motif GUIs
Used with IST's award-winning X-Designer Motif GUI builder,
Visaj 2.0 gives programmers the ability to migrate their legacy
Motif user interfaces to Java.
IST's Diamond Beans
Visaj includes IST's set of useful JavaBeans, called Diamonds. These provide controls and layouts such as splitter, toolbar, statusbar, and book.
