 ===== Adding a New Technology =====
-Adding support for a new technology is as straightforward as one can imagine: simply creating the extensions/implementations layers and implementing the factory for that technology. Giving a complete manual would be out for scope for this document, but the most simple approach to adding a new stack to [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] is to start with stubbing out the ''%%IFactory%%'' and implementing ''%%IWindow%%''. Once that one window shows up, it’s just implementing one interface after another in a quite straightforward manner. In the end, your application can switch to yet another GUI framework without the need to change your code.

 The following method is a simplified way to launch a [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] application. Normally, you’d use the technology specific launcher to launch the application. These launchers do know exactly what is required to set it up and start the technology and the application. However, covering the launchers is out of scope for this post, so we will review them and their mechanics in a follow-up.

-But first, we will start without anything. The most simple application you can create with [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/jvx/|JVx]] is an application which does open a single window and only works with in memory data (if at all). This can be easily achieved by “just starting” the application.
