Mathematica users now have access to a new technology that makes it easy to create graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for a wide range of custom implementations. GUIKit is a new development tool built on Java for use with Mathematica that can be downloaded free of charge from the Wolfram Research website. GUIKit expands upon existing Mathematica connection technologies, such as J/Link, to embed the whole of the Java development language within the structure of the Mathematica language, making user interfaces much easier to write than it would be by either using Java directly or using multiple languages. Use GUIKit to build interfaces to databases or to generate interactive graphics, presentations, and simulations. Documentation and multiple examples are included with the product. GUIKit is built for Mathematica 5.0 or later. It will be included with future releases of Mathematica and is available for all platforms on which Mathematica and Java are supported.
