The GOOP Template used by GOOP Developer is open source and is covered by the BSD Open Source License which is an OSI Certified open source license. The great advantage of this license is that it is compatible with both proprietary and open source software licenses, meaning that you can use it in either proprietary software or other open source software.
There are many good examples of using BSD components in proprietary software, such as:
- BSD networking code in Microsoft products.
- Numerous Free BSD components in Mac OS X.
SciWare is in control of the open source GOOP Template development, this ensures that there is continued and organized development of powerful new templates that meet the needs of the community.
All GOOP Templates that are released to the community are of a high professional quality and SciWare actively maintains the source code, in conjunction with the community.
Versions
SciWare_JKI_V1R4
This version of the template has the following features:
- Supports Inheritance: You can create classes and child classes. There is no limit to the depth of the object hierarchy that you can create. The elegant and efficient data casting and handling allows you to operate parent methods on child classes.
- Create Virtual Methods: When you operate on a child class with a parent virtual method the child implementation is invoked.
- Create Active Objects : This allows you to make your objects dynamic by binding a unique process to the object instance. This process is a queue driven state machine that accepts commands and sends messages. The Command and Message queues have editable types so you can edit the command and message types.
- Implement Super Messaging. This is the ability of a child method to call any parent method implementation.
- Variant Object Data Handling: The powerful data casting abilities of this framework allow you to set and get object data as variant. For example you can set any parent data into a child as variant and only the parent component of the data will be set. Alternatively you can get variant data from a child and cast it to any parent.
- Create Named Instances: This is useful for creating singletons or simply get an object instance by name.
- Create Plug-ins: You can call any child class creator and get its object reference. This is powerful if you want to create plug-in application architectures. For example, you could define the objects that get created within your application from a configuration file.
- Classes are upward compatible to 8.6
