Overview
Eclipse Scout is a mature and open framework for modern, service oriented business applications.
- Scout applications may run on diffent frontend technologies (Swing, SWT, Web) without any changes in the source code
- Scout substantially boosts developer productivity and is simple to learn.
- User friendly applications are straight forward to implement with Scout’s comprehensive set of user interface components.
- Completely based on Java/Eclipse, Scout Applications are easy to integrate in most IT environments.
Features
Below the central new features for Scout 3.8.0 are listed for both the runtime and the tooling part.
Scout Runtime
