This product is Wirelexsoft's most recent addition to its successful suite of Eclipse-based IDEs with RAD capabilities. A limited distribution Beta Release is now available to interested partners and developers. With the launch of VistaFei, Wirelexsoft has now successfully extended its visual driven development technology from the Mobile to the Web and the Desktop.

VistaFei is a visual feature-full Java development environment for dynamic AJAX web application development based on Google Web Toolkit. It is an end-to-end graphical based IDE that allows AJAX applications to be developed on a WYSIWYG basis. Its palette includes a variety of widgets and panels for sophisticated web application design. VistaFei's Internationalization capabilities make it a tool to create web sites and applications ready for the world. Built on Eclipse, VistaFei runs on a variety of desktop platforms such as Windows and Linux.

The first release of VistaFei provides a graphical Web UI Builder and a Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) Designer. It integrates with Eclipse Web Tool Platform (WTP) and thus makes available such tools as editors for HTML, JavaScript, CSS, JSP, SQL, XML, DTD, XSD, and WSDL, etc.

AJAX applications are developed in Java, and VistaFei provides a feature-rich Java development environment. The application is compiled and debugged (using GWT Compiler and Debugger) and launched to a browser, all from within same environment. VistaFei is configurable and can be customized to work with different browsers (for mobile devices and desktop PCs), different screen sizes to suit different Smart Phones and PDA's, and different underlying frameworks.
