Libraries and tools

The TreeGraph 2 project is based on several other free software projects. This page lists the libraries included in the TreeGraph 2 application as well as additional tools that are or have been used in its development or with its homepage. It might provide other developers useful ideas on which tools to use in their own project but is especially meant to thank the authors (and sometimes companies) of the free software projects who have made the development of TreeGraph 2 possible.

Libraries included in the application

• Apache Batik SVG Toolkit (Used in the Export to graphic function.)
• FreeHEP Java Libraries (Used in the Export to graphic function)
• Java Math Expression Parser (Used in the Calculate node/branch data function)
• BrowserLauncher2 (Used with the help system.)

Projects used in the development

• Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (Used for development of the TreeGraph 2 application and the XML schema)
• Eclipse Visual Editor Project (GUI editor for eclipse which produces human readable and editable java source code.)
• Launch4j (Used to generate a windows executable which makes TreeGraph.jar look an be used as an native windows program. It e.g. allows registered file types to be opened with TreeGraph 2.)
• Free Software Foundation, Inc. (Provided the License used for TreeGraph 2.)

Software used with this homepage

• openSUSE Linux
• Apache HTTP Server Project
• Apache Tomcat (Servlet and JSP Server)
• MediaWiki (CMS used with the help system)
