InterpiXML

InterpiXML is a runtime interpreter for UsiXML files. In GrafiXML, you are able to automatically generate a Java description of a user interface, but in this project, it is expected that the end user will receive a series of UsiXML files containing interfaces for different tasks, so as to make her/his "To do" list. In this way, the end user can "open" one or several interfaces and execute them instantly to mimic the principle of the unique workstation. This project is currently under initial development. Another facility provided by InterpiXML is its capability to change the native language of the user and re-launch the user interface and/or to change the presentation look& feel dynamically.

InterpiXML V1.0 FOR UsiXML V1.6.4
How to install InterpiXML
In order to use InterpiXML, you can download the installer for Windows. This file comes with a setup which installs everything you need, including some UsiXML files contained in a dedicated directory. Note that each UsiXML file is associated to its USI suffix and its icon. To insert a UsiXML in the list of possible files, register it. For any other platform, download the source files of the Java program and recompile them for your own computing platform.
