Kommander (Developer Package)

From Developer Community

Kommander

Kommander is rapid development tool that developers should know about. Kommander is broken up into two different components. The first (kmdr-editor) is a GUI layout editor for developers that is used to visually build GUI applications (windows, dialogs, and assorted widgets) and bind scripting elements to various GUI actions. The output is an XML file that is interpreted by the second component – the runtime executor (kmdr-executor).

Kommander uses KDE's DCOP service (an Inter Process Communication language and framework) to inter-operate with other KDE applications and KDE widgets. It is simple to create simple to complex applications using kommander.

Kommander is available on Novell Linux products (OpenSUSE, SLES, NLD, SUSE Linux) by installing the kdewebdev3 package.
