Note: Diva is avvailable from Quintessential Objects, Inc.

1) Alpha preview of 'Diva for Java' is available at 
http://www.inch.com/~friskel
2) The available version of Diva contains only a rough preview of 
the 'visual applet designer'.  The version we're working on will contain  
SIGNIFICANT enhancements.  The next version (end of Feb) of Diva will 
include:

- Visual Designer with support for all AWT controls and user subclassed 
controls.
- There will not be a need for any 'resource' files.  The Designer will
parse the .java source files for all required information.
- You will be able to place more than one designable objects in one .java 
source file.  A Designable object must be derived from a Panel.
- Full Class-wizard support similar to MSVC++.  This will assist the Java 
programmer in handling events and organizing thier code.  We love this piece. 
 

All comments and suggestions are welcomed.
