NEW Java TECHNOLOGY

     P3P parser

     http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/formula/P3P

     Platforms: [ OS/2, Windows 95 and NT ]

     P3P parser is a P3P protocol parser and constructor 
     written in 100% pure Java. The package (com.ibm.p3p) 
     contains classes and methods for parsing, generating,
     manipulating and evaluating P3P proposals and 
     responses. It also contains a parser and evaluator for 
     "A P3P Preference Exchange Language" (APPEL).

     RuleBasedNumberFormat

     http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/formula/RBNF

     Platforms: [ All Java Enabled Plaform ]

     RuleBasedNumberFormat was originally written to 
     provide an internationalizable way of writing out 
     numeric values in words. Different languages vary 
     considerably in how they express numbers.      
     Traditionally, applications that needed to spell out
     numeric quantities in words simply had a function that 
     did this, and this function had to be rewritten for
     each language the program was localized for.   
     RuleBasedNumberFormat provides a way to put 
     number-spellout descriptions into resources, saving 
     you from having to recompile your program for each 
     localized version. We provide number-spellout rules
     for several common languages.

     StringSearch

     http://www.alphaWorks.ibm.com/formula/StringSearch

     Platforms: [ All Java Enabled Platforms ]

    Sorting and searching non-English text presents number
    of challenges that many English speakers are not even 
    aware of. The primary source of difficulty is accents, 
    which have very different meanings in different 
    languages, and sometimes even within the same language.
    There are other problems as well. Fast, table-based 
    search algorithms must be adapted for use with Java's 
    large, Unicode character set. Some languages have
    multi-character sequences that sort as if they were one 
    character. And so on.

    StringSearch solves these problems so you don't have to 
    think about them. It will do the right thing for any 
    locale or collation sequence that you specify.

     Platforms: [ All Java Enabled Platforms ]

     The main purpose of JHelper is to create and display
     help systems as well as tool-tips (hints) for Java 
     applications/applets, including the ability to display 
     help index and contents if they have been created.

UPDATED Technology

      Install Toolkit for Java

      http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/formula/InstallToolkit

      Install Toolkit for Java is a program for writing 
      install programs for Java or non-Java programs 
      (including OS/2, AIX, Solaris, Linux, and Windows 
      NT/95 programs). Since Install Toolkit for Java is 
      written in Java, it can be run on any platform and 
      operating system that supports Java. This portability 
      provides a simpler installation and distribution 
      process.

      Platforms: [ AIX, Linux, Solaris, OS/2, Windows 95, 
      Windows NT ]

      Changes incorporated in Install Toolkit for Java:

      Added and enhanced privileges on Unix-based 
      platforms, new installation code for ITJ, now any 
      user on Win32, OS2 and Linux can install codes. Also, 
      fixed bugs and enhanced double-byte language support 
      for Win NT.
