Sirius

Sirius is the gui client set for Uncle Unc, and currently the most well-developed User Interface for the framework.

Sirius is a toolkit of high-level widgets such as list views, item views, pagers, filter bars and 'breadcrumb' trails, that can be rapidly combined into a GUI application.

Sirius is also a stand-alone application that can present an overview of many services at once (see screenshots here).

Sirius uses a lightweight java GUI toolkit known as dog that provides a modern look and feel without the high overheads of swing. Dog was initially developed to run on Java 1.1 in the days of applets, and provides a good pathway to running Uncle Unc on PersonalJava devices.

Sirius is being used to develop a set of javabeans that make it easy to plug Uncle Unc capabilities into your application.
