It looks and works way better than LibreOffice Base (sorry) and it's real client-server architecture. Yes, it isn't #FLOSS, which would be too awesome.
It's still from Apple, you know. (They probably still regret they wrote this in #Java in their early naive childhood days, not doing peek capitalism.)
It's just so awesome. You lay out a database schema, import it to EOModeler, fix a few data types, set some rules (GUI! no freaking XML writing, simple syntax if you want to write) and the GUI looks exactly like you want a database app to look like.
Those guys called Apple's #JavaClient their "best kept secret" in 2009. Quite understandable why.

Hm, really tired of this #MSAccess, #LibreOfficeBase database application stuff. I need a quick way to create a "main/detail" GUI from a database.
There once was #WebObjects and that really nice #JavaClient stuff.
Is there anything else, existing to this day?
I know of
- #Apache #Cayenne (only ORM, no GUI generation)
- #ManyDesigns #Portofino (very close, but only web GUI. Thanks to @peter for that hint some time ago).
Do you know of anything? @helge
