This project has provides for a Visual Development Environment. It allows many different components that can be added easily to the display. The display may then be converted to Java[TM] source code which is fully independent of the BIM Dynamic Development Environment architecture, or the display can be saved in BIM Dynamic Development Environment(BDDE) file format. In this format it is in scaled form so that it may be loaded at a later time on any size display which has the BIM Dynamic Development Environment. In BDDE file format it may be loaded into another application included in the package and in this package it may then be tested and/or converted into a html document. Above and beyond all that has been mentioned the BDDE file format provides a simple interface which allows for easy extension and creation of new components that may be added to the BDDE file format. These components may or may not have cycles of life(FormStage's) which is an interface that extends Runnable and provides the component with some artifical intelligence. This application is hundreds of KBytes of open source code. Everything before this point is functional. However this application is not fully complete. This application is also intended to be an internet application front end which will collect information and dynamically change the front end according to the information. Also the front end can transport information to the back end for transaction server functionality(the plan is to incorporate this application with the BIM Database which provides the back end support needed).
