Jador! (Just Another Data ORganizer !)
Jador! allows to manage a database
table stored in an XML file. With it's Swing forms, you can easily
manage the structure and the content of the table, but also perform
advanced searches. This Java based software runs on all platforms.
Jador! is a simple, but convenient tool. For example, I use it to
manage my DVD and CD collection. In this case, I have a table with 12
fields and about 700 records. With this table, performances are very good.

Features:
Jador! offer following features:
- Admin features:
You can manage the structure of the table by creating, renaming or deleting fields.
- Input features:
You can manage the content of the table by creating, updating, duplicating or
deleting records. Special combo boxes are used, to make easier the
input of data by completing the input while the you are typing.
- Search features:
Jador! allows to perform advanced queries very easily, just by clicking. You
can set several criteria for each field, using comparators like "=",
"!=", "<", ">" with wildcards characters. For example, for a
movie database with the corresponding fields, you can select all
American movies directed by Stanley Kubrick or by Akira Kurosawa, and
released before 1990. The matching records are displayed in a sortable
table with ToolTips.
- CSV import / export:
Jador! is able to import a CSV file under these conditions:
- The CSV separator must be ';'
- The data must not contain the ';' character
- The CSV file must be a table (that means that each line must have the same number of elements)
- The first line of the CSV file must contain the fields name
Install:
Before using Jador!, you must ensure that:
- You have a JRE (at least 1.4.1) installed on your machine
- The '.jar' files are considered as executable jar files by your
system, and associated with 'javaw.exe' (or 'java.exe' with '-jar' option)
Then, you just have to dowload the 'jador.jar' from the
Sourceforge Jador! page,
and double-click on the jar to launch the software.
Known limitations:
You may encounter display problems if:
- You create a large number of fields (over 25)
- You create records with large field values (over 80 characters)
(These figures are for a 1024x768 screen resolution)
Jador! has not been tested with a great number of records.
