Here it is, the first technology preview of the new JCollection generation 0.10.0tp1. The main improvement (besides bugfixes, of course) is that the import/export filters and the webservice functionality has been moved into plugins, which makes future enhancements much easier. The standard distribution of JCollection includes some common plugins and modules, and there is a "simple" distribution, which only includes some basic features (and the Amazon webservice). The "pure" distribution consists of the component only, additional modules and plugins have to be downloaded and installed manually. The inclusion of a stock management and an interface to library services is still work-in-progress, but at least it is progressing nicely. There is a demo of the technology preview at demo.jcollection.info.
