Excelsior JET Case Studies

Protection of an Artificial Intelligence know-how with Excelsior JET NEW

"The Raptor Diagnostic Suite is implemented as a set of Eclipse RCP applications taking advantage from many RCP features. Like other technology-driven companies we had to think about how to protect our key knowledge and expertise against reverse engineering in order to stay a step ahead in a very competitive market."

A dead lock revealed with the help of Excelsior JET NEW

"If internal examination of problem code could not identify the source of the difficulty, forwarding that test to Excelsior's support team for their review may provide helpful insights similar to those which Excelsior delivered to us.... "

--Charles O'Dale, President, Senomix Software Inc.

Protecting the source code without annoying techniques NEW

"In spite of any software could be hacked, the objective must not be to avoid the piracy at any price, but rather to develop useful programs without annoying anti-piracy systems. This fact despite of being so logic and simple sometimes is forgotten. In our case, a long time ago we started developing Smart Positioning Architect, a RTLS desktop application... "

Protecting Customers and Intellectual Property with Excelsior JET

"Anyone who has worked on a Java project based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) knows how powerful and valuable RCP can be. Unfortunately not all developers realize that there is little protection for their code and embedded resources in the deliverable content they distribute. With the abundance of knowledge and tools for Java disassembly in existence, anyone can obtain a detailed understanding of the inner workings of and intellectual property contained within a RCP application with very little effort..."

DataTransfer - Secure upload of medical data

"In clinical practice, the need to receive large amounts of digital patient data, e.g. MRI scans frequently arises... We therefore implemented a solution encapsulating data selection, encryption, authentication and secure data transfer in an easy to use Java application... We used Excelsior JET to create a downloadable installation bundle. There were benefits in doing so: included JVM, reduced download size, easy to use installer..."

Protecting intellectual property in model-driven software development environments

" Open Canarias has several years of experience in the development of software engineering tools built over modeling technologies in the Eclipse platform. To be highlighted is OC Rosetta ®, a tool for modernization driven by legacy system models, built on top of the Eclipse RCP framework and EMF... Excelsior JET represents the best (and possibly only available) solution, capable to protect not only Eclipse RCP and OSGi based applications, but also those that rely on the modeling technologies available in the platform..."

--Víctor Roldán Betancort, Open Canarias S.L.

Using Excelsior JET for the EasyMonitoring ® RCP based application

"We are a software company developing an advanced real-time 3D visualization product based on Eclipse RCP framework. Our product is also used as a base for developing customer tailored plug-ins for analyzing 3D and real-time data. These make our RCP application to have two main characteristics:..."

Using Excelsior JET in GMDSS Simulation

"In this article we will explain a bit of how we successfully employed Excelsior JET in a quite complex application called a GMDSS Simulator consisting of a client/server framework connected with an in-house written UDP protocol mechanism..."

A Java Compiler Performance Study

"This case study describes the use of a draughts playing program to benchmark Java compilers. Two ahead-of-time Java to native compilers are benchmarked, as well as three versions of the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine using just-in-time compiling."

--Jan-Jaap van Horssen

Excelsior JET version of QST

"In the last two years we were using Excelsior JET Pro to compile our Swing based application. This is a very useful tool with a serious impact in how the application behaves on the Windows platforms."

--Artur Olar, Computer Voice Systems

The Nuaire Group Fan Selector

"We evaluated Excelsior JET 4.0 Standard and were instantly impressed by the performance gains it produced. Start up time was quicker and the overall feel was that of a more responsive, slicker program... With Excelsior JET 4.5 Professional the package size has reduced considerably. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Excelsior JET 4.5 to anyone who distributes a Java application."

Warrensoft: Sooplet Server - Ultra-Rapid Application Development and Deployment

"Compiled with Excelsior JET's world-class compiler and packaged with JetPackII, the Sooplet Server is easy to distribute and simple to install... The performance improvement over the Sun JVM is quite dramatic. Execution time for a sample Sooplet Method, creating a batch of complex objects in a loop, was reduced to nearly one third..."

Sky On Asia Ltd.: Using Excelsior JET in Telecom Industry

"The application launch time is reduced from 92 seconds down to 16 seconds. Moreover, we use Excelsior JET's NT Service to install our server-side Java application into a native NT Service. Our customer is happy since the delivery of our software in June/2003. Excelsior JET helps us to promote a very professional image."

Energy System Research Unit

"Energy System Research Unit (ESRU) is a teaching and research support group at University of Strathclyde, in Glasgow, UK. Over the years we have developed a variety of software tools including some Java applications. Issues arising that the Java codes usually start slow and, on top of that, users have to install JRE/J3D... The applications that we built using Excelsior JET achieved their objectives. They start faster and run faster too...
