If you read the article about VisionX 6 update you saw that E-Plug is also updated from 1.2.60 to 3.0.0.
We released E-Plug 3.0.0 already and 1.2.60 is not available via Eclipse Marketplace anymore. However, if you made a mistake and want to stay with 1.2.60 it's still possible. In this case, simply add a custom update site in your Eclipse settings and use following URL: https://eclipse.sibvisions.com/eplug.1.2.60
This location contains latest E-Plug 1.2.60.
The default location for latest E-Plug is: https://eclipse.sibvisions.com/eplug
We're happy to announce that JVx 3.o is available. It's a feature release and fixes some problems.
All changes are documented in our ticketing system. The release contains 138 tickets and much more work behind the scenes. It is full of experience gained from countless projects. This version is the heart of our low-code platform VisionX and it is a rock star.
JVx 3 is the effort of 34 months hard work.
Thank you Martin and René for your tireless work!
It comes with better database independency, Java code parsing and execution, Image metadata (mobile devices), improved Parameter handling and much more. The full list of changes is available in our ticketing system and in the changelog of our code repository.
Start with JVx
We're happy to announce VisionX 6.0.351
The new version is full with updates. It doesn't contain many new features but many new possibilities because of Java 21, JavaFX 23, latest reactUI, flutter UI and an updated Previewer app.
Before starting with VisionX 6, PLEASE read our update guide and also additional information about our Previewer app update.
What's new?
- Disable translation
It's possible to disable the translation temporary while you design your application, because sometimes it's not good to show translated labels/names immediate. The VisionX button in your application now contains a checkbox. This doesn't change your application, only temporary in VisionX.
- Improved layout drag/drop
We changed dragging and dropping elements for our layouts a little bit, to show gaps. This is not a big thing, but it just looks right now.
- Java 21
- JVx application framework 3.0
- Apache Tomcat 11 support
- Postgres database 14
- ARM64 support (Apple silicon (M1), linux, windows)
- Version update for all AddOns and Modules
As usual, VisionX 6.0.351 is available in the download area for our customers or as trial.
Have fun!
We're happy to announce VisionX 5.11.615
The new version is fully backwards compatible and contains many improvements. It also fixes some reported problems and brings new features. This version is the last version of series 5 and we didn't change bigger blocks. The 5.11.615 should be a great final version of VisionX 5. We already started development of VisionX 6 and it will bring some bigger changes because we'll update to Java 21. We also will update our embedded postgresql database. We'll update to our latest react based UI and also to latest mobile app. We have some great features in the pipeline for all of you.
... back to VisionX 5.11.615
What's new?
- NEW calculated field
Calculated field
Use this field for sum, average, min, max calculation or simple record counts. The calculated value can be changed after calculation or you can define custom formulas. It's on you. It's super easy to use and you can access the calculated fields in any action.
- Actions and Functions
Our new actions are:
- Perform search
If you have a "manual" Search button in your screen, automatic search is disable automatically. With this action it's possible to force search)
- Download URL
Save data from an URL.
- Contains (value, search, case_sensitive)
Checks if a search value is part of a specific value. case_sensitive means (B is not the same as b; but case insensitive means B is the same as b)
- Starts with (value, search, case_sensitive)
Checks if a value starts with a specific search value
- Ends with (value, search, case_sensitive)
- for loop with fixed number of iterations
Checks if a value ends with a specific search value
Changed actions:
- E-Mail
It's now possible to set dynamic text as subject instead of fixed text.
We have some totally useful new functions for you:
- length (text)
Counts the number of characters
- substring (text, start)
Creates a sub string from start to the end
- substring (text, start, count)
Creates a sub string from start and maximum count characters
- countAll (column)
Counts all records. Compared to count(column) which counts all records where the value is not empty.
The description of an action shows possible functions as well:

Part 1 of this article is available here.
Since Java 14, ClassLoader was changed a little bit and usr_paths it not available as field anymore. It's still possible to change the java.library.path at runtime, but it's still tricky and dirty:
Method getDeclaredFields0
=
Class.
class.
getDeclaredMethod("getDeclaredFields0",
boolean.
class);
getDeclaredFields0.
setAccessible(true);
Field[] fieldsClassLoader =
(Field[])getDeclaredFields0.invoke(ClassLoader.class, Boolean.FALSE);
for (Field fldClassLoader : fieldsClassLoader) {
if ("libraries".equals(fldClassLoader.getName())) {
fldClassLoader.setAccessible(true);
Class<?>[] classesClassLoader =
fldClassLoader.getType().getDeclaredClasses();
for (Class<?> clLibraryPaths : classesClassLoader) {
if ("jdk.internal.loader.NativeLibraries$LibraryPaths".equals(
clLibraryPaths.getName())) {
Field[] fieldsLibraryPaths =
(Field[])getDeclaredFields0.invoke(clLibraryPaths, Boolean.FALSE);
for (Field fldLibPath : fieldsLibraryPaths) {
if ("USER_PATHS".equals(fldLibPath.getName())) {
final Field fldUsrPaths = fldLibPath;
fldUsrPaths.setAccessible(true);
// get array of paths
final String[] saPath = (String[])fldUsrPaths.get(null);
// check if the path to add is already present
for (String path : saPath) {
if (path.equals(pPath)) {
return;
}
}
// add the new path
String[] saNewPaths = Arrays.copyOf(saPath, saPath.length + 1);
saNewPaths[saNewPaths.length - 1] = pPath;
Object unsafe;
// Unsafe is a hack
Class<?> clsUnsafe = Class.forName("sun.misc.Unsafe");
final Field unsafeField = clsUnsafe.getDeclaredField("theUnsafe");
unsafeField.setAccessible(true);
unsafe = unsafeField.get(null);
Method m1 = clsUnsafe.getMethod("staticFieldBase", Field.class);
Method m2 = clsUnsafe.getMethod("staticFieldOffset", Field.class);
Object fieldBase = m1.invoke(unsafe, fldUsrPaths);
Long fieldOffset = (Long)m2.invoke(unsafe, fldUsrPaths);
Method m3 = clsUnsafe.getMethod("putObject", Object.class,
long.class, Object.class);
m3.invoke(unsafe, fieldBase, fieldOffset, saNewPaths);
}
}
}
}
return;
}
}
Here's the complete solution: toPDF project (search for addLibraryPath(String pPath))
Above code requires:
--add-opens java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED
--add-opens java.base/jdk.internal.loader=ALL-UNNAMED
for JDK > 14.
What a great day!
We're happy to announce VisionX 5.10.851
The version comes with the latest release build of our react user interface and support for our latest mobile application.
We recommend the update because it's backwards compatible and you get all bugfixes which were reported by all VisionX users.
What's new?
The main focus was on bugfixes but we alwo have two new features:
- Configure a home screen for your application
The home screen is always shown if no other screen is open.
- Export a Docker definition for the application without database container
As usual, VisionX 5.10.851 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
VisionX 5.11.50 EarlyAccess version is available for all our customers.
The version contains our latest libraries and bugfixes, especially our react UI and flutter UI. Both UIs are included in VisionX 5.11.50.
The mobile Browser previewer is now built with Flutter 3.19.2.
With EA version it's now possible to create a docker container definition file only for the application server. Usually both containers were created as docker compose definition file. The EA version also tries to solve the problem with different database ports for the embedded database. It should just work without limitations.
An EA version is not intended for production use, but is great for development.
Have fun!

We're happy to announce VisionX 5.10. It's a really powerful version.
The exact version number is 5.10.511.
The version comes with the latest release build of our react user interface and support for our latest mobile application. We recommend react UI but we still have our good old vaadin UI on board. Our vaadin UI is still a good decision and we also continue development. No worries. As we told you in VisionX 5.9 release notes, all new cool features will be available for react UI only. In latest react UI we also bundled our latest design mode feature.
We recommend the update to 5.10 of all previous versions because it's backwards compatible and you get lots of new features and all bugfixes which were reported of all VisionX users. If we release AddOn updates, we target the new VisionX version and it's not guaranteed that old VisionX versions will get the updates.
If you plan using mobile apps, also update to 5.10 because we'll release an update of our VisionX app in the next days. This app requires VisionX 5.10 or later.
What's new?
The main focus was on bugfixes, react UI and mobile.
- New calendar component
- Using application specific web content folder
- Native mobile app production ready (enhancement)
- reactUI production ready (enhancement)
- VisionX app ready (enhancement)
As usual, VisionX 5.10.511 is available in the download area for our customers.
Have fun!
