Habanero ORM Released Under LGPL

Chillisoft's innovative object relational mapping framework, Habanero, has been transferred to the LGPL license, providing the framework as free, open source. Also included for free with v1.4 is the Firestarter utility to manage the mapping of the database to the class objects, along with reverse generation of definitions from an existing database and generating of working code.

Habanero first set itself apart in the ORM industry by featuring user interface generation from mapped objects. From this natural next step to data mapping, Habanero facilitates the rapid development of business applications from an existing database design, eliminating the writing of error-prone SQL and catering for multiple database vendors at the switch of a single setting.

While object relational mapping has taken the development market by storm, Habanero has flown the flag of a software development ideal: keep the simple case simple, but provide access to the application's power when requirements become more complicated. With an end-product orientated package like Habanero, both new and seasoned developers can navigate rapidly toward a working product, which presents considerable cost savings to any development business and brings development reality closer to the customer's ideal: a customised application in reduced time at reduced cost.
