Line 1: {{language \|site=http://www.basic4ppc.com/android/b4j.html}} B4J is a 100% free development tool ~~very~~, similar to Basic4android. ~~Instead~~that ofgenerates ~~generating~~cross ~~Android applications~~platform, ~~B4J generates standard Java applications. These applications can run on Windows~~desktop, ~~Linux~~server and ~~Mac~~web ~~computers~~applications. B4J follows the same concepts of Basic4android, providing a simple and powerful development tool. Q: Is B4J completely free, including for commercial purposes?<br> ~~B4J is designed to support all types of applications. In the first version there are two types, UI apps and Console apps.~~ A: Yes. Q: What are the requirements for UI apps developers with B4J?<br> ~~UI apps are based on JavaFX 2 UI framework. These apps require Java 1.7 (update 6)+.~~ A: B4J UI apps depend on Java FX. Java FX is part of Java JRE 7 (build 6+). B4J UI apps will run on Windows, Mac, Linux and ARM Linux (Raspberry Pi for example) computers. Q: Which file should be distributed?<br> ~~Console apps will usually not show any UI. These apps require Java 1.6+.~~ A: When you compile your project in Release mode, the complete app is packaged in a single jar file under the Objects folder. You should distribute this jar file. Q: Can I reuse Basic4android code with B4J?<br> ~~In the future there might be more types such as server apps...~~ A: Most of the non-UI code can be reused. See this tutorial for more information.
