Free user interfaces in java software for linux

RULI stands for Resolver User Layer Interface. Its a library built on top of an asynchronous DNS stub resolver. RULI provides an easy-to-use interface for querying DNS SRV resource records. The goal is to promote wide deployment of SRV-cognizant software. RULI aims to fully support SRV-related standards. There are bindings for PHP, Perl, Guile/Scheme, Java, and Lua. IPv6 is supported.

Now you can understand the benefits of SRV records and please see how RULI can help you.

SRV records are more complex than A records

Handling DNS SRV is not as simple as to deal with ordinary address records. When one performs a query for A records by calling gethostbyname(), he gets a list of addresses which should be contacted in the same order as they were received. For SRV records, there is an additional logic that must be applied to the records, based on their weight and priority, to discover the correct sequence for contacting them.
RULI can handle SRV records for you

The SRV logic is described in RFC 2782. Those who intend to use SRV benefits in their application are expected to implement that exact behavior. RULI can help here: it automatically performs all the SRV logic for you.
Keep focus on your application logic

Application developers probably want to spend time on their business logic; not dealing with the details of the DNS protocol or implementing the SRV specification.

RULI is a tested framework designed to properly fetch SRV records. It saves you time and head aches.
RULI is free as in free beer and in free speech

Configurable Audible User Interface in short caui is a simple plugin-based audible user interface.
Plugins use speech synthesis software to interact with a user and perform specific actions. The main method of input is a keyboard or number pad.
This project is the successor to the Blind MP3 Player.
Enhancements:
- caui-cmd will exit immediately if caui has an mplayer process forked.

The Asterisk-Java package consists of a set of Java classes that allow you to easily build Java applications that interact with an Asterisk PBX Server. Asterisk-java supports both interfaces that Asterisk provides for this scenario, The FastAGI protocol and the Manager API.
Asterisk-Java is compatible with Asterisk 1.0 and 1.2. The FastAGI implementation supports all commands currently available from Asterisk.
The Manager API implementation supports receiving events from the Asterisk server (e.g. call progess, registered peers, channel state) and sending actions to Asterisk (e.g. originate call, agent login/logoff, start/stop voice recording).
Enhancements:
- This release has full support for Asterisk 1.4 and the new Live API (org.asteriskjava.live).
- The Live API takes care of the low-level action and event handling of the Manager API, and offers an intuitive API for Java developers.
- Asterisk-Java takes advantage of the features of Java 5.0, and therefore requires a Java Virtual Machine of at least version 1.5.0.

Folder Extension Wizard provides a small extension that Loads extensions from folders (unpacked xpi files).

A wizard is a user interface element where the user is led through a sequence of dialogs. Unlike most modern user interface paradigms, the user is forced to perform the task in a specific sequence.

However, for complex or infrequently performed tasks where the user is unfamiliar with the steps involved, it may make it easier for them to perform the task. In some open source software, wizards are called Druids.

Cuiterm is a CUI (Composite User Interface) terminal.
CUI (Composite User Interface) is a compound type of user interface which incorporates the features of the GUI (Graphical User Interface) and the CLI (Command Line Interface) by realizing both interface in one area at the same time.
It is absolutely substantial that the CUI contains GUI elements and control language in the same area of the screen at the same time, so the incorporation is complete. CUI is not an optional, alternatively selectable combination of the two communication method but a truly new approach.
An other relevant feature of the CUI method is that it uses generated commands. When the user activated some GUI part of the user interface an automatically generated command appears to complete the task so the user can observ how the CLI part of the user interface can be used.
The cuiterm is a pilot application for the CUI methodology made to demonstrate the power of the composite user interfaces. As terminals are usually used with some shell to start simple UNIX utility programs, the Cui library can be considered as a composite user interface for the shell and some UNIX utilities. The following screenshot shows the starting screen of the cuiterm.
How to use it?
To test the composite user interface first you have to download the cuiterm and and install it. After the installation is complete the program can be started with the cuiterm command.
When the terminal emulator started it can be used the usual way by typing commands into it. Some programs and some complex commands are interpreted by the terminal and colorized (see the list below). For these commands the screen should have active areas usable with the left mouse button by double clicking on them. The output of some programs have floating menus with context sensitive functions. The menus can be accessed by the right mouse button. Some parts of the screen can be used to fire up a text entry field by holding down the left mouse button.
The following list contains some interpreted and processed commands that are worth trying.
ls -l and some variants of it
df
who
w
ps aux
stat
finger
cat /etc/fstab
Enhancements:
- This version contains new features, including an automatic GUI generator which creates dialog boxes from manual pages, a working progress bar, enhanced size bars, and some new command parsers.
- The drag and drop, the speed of the terminal, and the existing parsers were also enhanced.

Ubuntu Bootloader Manager is a graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring GRUBs menu.lst.

This app is still very alpha, use at your own risk and make sure to make a backup of our grub config file (/boot/grub/menu.lst).

OpenPFC project is a class library for implementing intelligent consumer electronics as quickly and efficiently as possible.
We address the proliferation of consumer electronics standards by providing common functionality while not restricting use to any single standard.
We also try to introduce special performance not traditionally found in consumer electronics.
PFC is mainly defined by the PFC core. This is a set of objects not specific to any single application.
With this in mind, PFC is not intended for writing desktop applications in a general purpose computing environment.
The runtime configuration of PFC is not intended to be reconfigured by users at the command line level.
User interfaces to PFC products are expected to be simple and media intensive.
Main features:
- Realtime multimedia
- Low memory
- Low CPU speed
- Devices with persistent storage
- Devices without persistent storage
- Advanced user interface rendering
- Fast user interface responsiveness
- 3D user interfaces
