About:
Jameica is a modular Java application platform that provides a robust runtime environment for plugins and a native SWT-based graphical user interface. It serves as a foundation for building rich desktop applications, offering built-in support for persistence, messaging, and security features. The platform is primarily used as the base for the Hibiscus personal finance management software.
Key Features:
  • Modular plugin architecture for extending functionality
  • Native SWT-based UI for cross-platform desktop applications
  • Integrated persistence layer and messaging system
  • Built-in security features including encryption and user management
Use Cases:
  • Developing modular Java desktop applications
  • Building personal finance management tools (as Hibiscus)
  • Creating plugin-based enterprise software solutions
Alternatives:
  • Eclipse RCP – More complex and heavyweight; Jameica offers a simpler, more focused platform
  • JavaFX – Modern UI toolkit but lacks built-in modular architecture and persistence
