This package is the base on which Jackson data-binding package builds on.Īlternate data format implementations (likeĪlso build on this base package, implementing the core interfaces, Only packages that specifically contain word 'json' are JSON-specific. The core abstractions are not JSON specific, although naming does contain 'JSON' in many places, due to historical reasons. It also includes the default implementation of handler types (parser, generator) that handle JSON format.
I personally didn't like seeing the infamous C:\ when I went to either open or save my website.This project contains core low-level incremental ("streaming") parser and generator abstractions used by If it cost only $35USD I'd probably purchase it. Although I didn't find any bugs I'm sure that there are a few since it needs wine to run. IBM has version 5 out for Windows and it would do them good to have a native Linux version. If a version was compiled for Linux, cost under $70USD, and ran as well as this one did I'd probably go for it.
There are standard one page types, multiple pages, frames, etc.Īlthough the program was relatively easy to use and install I just can't recommend anything that was recycled from the MS Windows Platform using wine. FeaturesĪs with other Point and Click web site builders it had a bunch of features bundled in. I was able to create a basic site and publish it to my test Apache Webserver in 20 minutes. I fiddled around with some of the wizards and found them relatively easy to use. Other than the slow loadup everything ran smoothly. To start it unmanaged set the HPB_WMANAGE environment to 0.Īs I suspected it took awhile to load, due to the Wine interface and I really don't have a slow system. Under Wine WebBuilder runs under a managed window. If any process fails, IBM recommends running hpbclean to clean up the process. Hpbuilder -g starts the User's Guide with Netscape. A special tool to publish your site to a web server. Hpbuilder -f starts the file transfer utility. This allow you to create and edit images and pictures. Hpbuilder -c starts the WebArt designer tool. There are a variety of special effects you can add here. This allows you to take multiple images, put them together and animate them. You can also some of the other programs from within the main software. Everything you need to know to run Webpage Builder is located in the /opt/hpbuilder4/README.txt file. Running the program was also very simple.
For most people, this may be the only thing you have in this location. Assuming that you have the files in the same location just type: Four RPM's are needed: The program, docs, tutorial, and the wine package.
For slower links you can download 2MB files then run a script to create the RPM(s).
I downloaded the full RPM's since I have T-1 access. Well, my system would support it, but will it run over RH7.0? The answer is yes it did. Hmm DVD will have to work.ĭisplay: VGA at 640x480, 256 colors or better. No problem, as I had PLENTY of space available.ĬD-ROM: 2X or higher. Hard Disk: Program and Samples - 64MB, Online User's Guide - 48MB, Online Tutorial - 16MB. Again no problem as I have an Athlon 750mhz. No problem here.ĬPU: P166mhz or compatible. But Since I was needy, I decided to give it a whirl anyway. I really wanted a Linux native program, not recycled windows software. Software: "Homepage Builder for Linux requires "Wine for Homepage Builder"", which can be obtained from several different servers. It didn't really matter since I use RedHat 7.0. Well I kind of guessed by the listed distributions that it was bound to be in RPM format and I soon discovered that I was correct. OS: RedHat 6.1/6.2, SuSE 6.3/6.4, Turbo Linux 6.0, Caldera OpenLinux 2.4 (All Intel Version). I Found IBM Websphere Homepage BuilderĪfter about 5 minutes using searching the website I found a link to IBM's web site and Websphere. The only catch was I wanted it to run under Linux, natively if at all possible.
So to make my life easier I decided to go on a quest to find an easy to use, very little actual coding program that would allow me to publish a somewhat professional looking website. Recently I discovered the need to re-publish my old website and after reviewing and comparing it with other "amateur" sites I came to the realization that mine didn't just suck, but it sucked with a vengeance. I love to write in PERL, C, shell scripts, etc but not HTML or anything web-related. In fact I have a major dislike of the entire process. I'll admit it, I don't like to write web pages.
