DELTA Editor

New Features

  • Existing .dlt files can be opened and viewed using the DELTA Editor. Both grid view and tree view attribute editors have been implemented.

  • Simplified Chinese and Spanish languages. The current locale and language are taken from operating system settings, but can be overridden for demonstration purposes by supplying command line arguments when launching the jar file:

To view Chinese captions, for example, launch the editor from the command line with the following command (assuming the jar file is in the current working directory):

   java -Duser.region=CN -Duser.language=zh -jar delta-editor-1.0-M1-with-dependencies.jar

To view Spanish captions, use:

   java -Duser.region=ES -Duser.language=es -jar delta-editor-1.0-M1-with-dependencies.jar

Note Chinese and Spanish localisations have been chosen arbitrarily for demonstrative purposes. Please contact the project team should you be willing and able to contribute additional language translations.

  • Help system (including context sensitive help) demonstration
  • Windows installer with or without a bundled Java Runtime Environment

  • The Save menu item is not enabled only when a file has been modified.
  • Features are still missing from read only mode, including Controlling/Controlled Attributes, Implicit values, Mandatory values.
