Giraffe is a graphical application framework developed entirely in
Java. An applications graphics model is defined in xml and has
behaviour assigned by plugins developed in Java.

This alpha release gives you a quick peek at what can be built with the
framework.

I began developing Giraffe over three years ago. I needed a way of
visualising live data from an interface that I was building (Wet-Wired
Interface). Since then I have added many features that may be usefull
to others wanting to build graphical applications. I hope you find it
usefull and join the Giraffe Developer Community.

If anyone has some spare time I would really appriciate some help with
further development and performance improvements.
