Source is coming soon! | RapidACE Services

You may be wondering why I’ve not yet posted the source code? It’s because I have to clean it up first. Remove the QuickTable components (which I purchased a license to, but am not currently allowed to distribute), and reset the Wilmascope code in to a separate JAR file, although Wilmascope is LGPL. I also want to make absolutely certain that when I do release the code, and you download it – that it will actually compile for you.

I’m upgrading to the latest release of Eclipse and all the libraries that go with it.

Anyhow, it’s 100% java, and 100% swing, so you shouldn’t have any trouble with it. In the end, there may be features I actually have to “remove” like editing tables, editing datatypes, and so on – features that use QuickTable, except to provide them in a pre-compiled Binary (which I will have to obfuscate, again because of licensing issues). But let’s hope that doesn’t happen. I am seeking the blessing of the author of QuickTable to release it as a JAR with my compiled app. We’ll see how well that goes.

The source is coming soon, and it will only be the V1 product that I release to the code base. You should consider v1 code “frozen” as well, as I am well under-way with V2, but not ready yet to release this…

Hope this helps,
Dan L

I am currently in the process of providing a proof of concept for a data vault implementation and a subsequent set of dimensional reporting marts. I’m very anxious to take a look at the version 2 of the Rapid Ace product which will assist me in generate the informatica processing. Please let me know how I would go about impelmenting a beta test of the product even if it is only for my own training.

Hi Rick,

V2 is still pre-alpha state. I’ve not yet decided if V2 will go to open source or be “sold” to prospective buyers outright (that would be software shops who can do it justice). That said however, I offer services/consulting for generating code for you – and would be happy to figure out a fixed-priced bid for what you are trying to do. I would also be happy to demo the software to you over screen-sharing & skype (free to do).

Please let me know if you are interested.

Thanks Rick,
Dan Linstedt
