Welcome to Kiwi!

Version 2.3.1 - February, 2008

Kiwi is a collection of class libraries that simplifies application development under Java using the Java Foundation Classes (JFC).

Kiwi dates back all the way to 1998, when I was just starting out with Java development. I was learning Swing at the time, and began to work on a class library that would make writing Swing applications easier. I felt that other people in the development community would also find the library useful, so I eventually released Kiwi 1.1 as an open source project.

Since then, I have continued to develop Kiwi in my spare time. Since I use Kiwi in all of my other Java projects, this development is largely driven by the requirements of those projects. The end result is that Kiwi contains functionality that is actually useful in real applications; gratuitous features are kept to a minimum.
