Laurent Dutheil and ObjectLab are pleased to announce release 1.1.0 of
JTreeMap for Java 1.5+.

Open Source TreeMap/Heatmap components for Swing and SWT.

http://jtreemap.sourceforge.net

We believe this is the only open source library of the sort under a 
business friendly license (Apache License v2.0)

How to represent and visualize a lot of information at a glance is a 
hot topic in IT. A Treemap, also known as Heatmap, is an important tool
for this. A TreeMap graphically represents a hierarchical structure.

Typically, the hierarchy will involve a tree of nodes of different sizes
and different colours.  The size and colours are determined by parameters
such as the relative importance of a node in comparison to the full size.

It is available immediately for download via SourceForge or the ObjectLab 
Open Source Repository (both Maven 1 and Maven 2). 

http://objectlabkit.sourceforge.net/m2-repo
and
http://objectlabkit.sourceforge.net/m1-repo


The libraries will also be put in the Maven Central Repository (pending processing
by Apache).

The homepage has some very quick examples.

The library is small, lightweight and does not force you to adopt a
framework, but you can also use the Applet and Example Application 
out-of-the-box, without any coding.  It is currently used in StatSVN and 
some financial applications deployed around the world.

ObjectLab is not new to the open-source community having used numerous OS 
projects, It has recently launched the ObjectLab Kit family, including:
- QALab (http://qalab.sourceforge.net), a tool that keeps track over-time
  of the static analysis results from FindBugs, Checkstyle, PMD, Cobertura etc.
- DateCalculators (http://objectlabkit.sourceforge.net), a set of generic
  lightweight and thread-safe Date calculators for Business and Finance.
- StatSvn (http://www.statsvn.org) Subversion repository statistics.  
- PZFileReader (http://pzfilereader.sourceforge.net) a flexible delimited
  and FIXED LENGTH file/message parser.
  
We would like to thanks our friends and colleagues for their help, 
reviews and suggestions.

Sorry for the long email... 

Feel free to pass on to people who may be interested.

Enjoy!!
