About Open-jACOB

Open-jACOB is a Java rapid application development tool (RAD) based on Eclipse that enables the development of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) that are entirely based on Java.

An Open-jACOB based application can be deployed as a stand alone application (.war) in a Web container like Jakarta-Tomcat. Alternatively, it may also be deployed as a jacapp Application within the jACOB Application server, profiting from the more advanced management features of the Open-jACOB container.
