Pre-release of FBDK 2.0

Version 2.0 of the Function Block Development Kit (FBDK 2.0) from Holobloc Inc is now available in pre-release form for testing purposes at http://www.holobloc.com/fbdk2/. This software enables you to build and test data types, function block types, adapter types, functions, resource types, device types, network segment types and system configurations according to the IEC 61499 standard.

The development of FBDK 2.0 is essentially complete; however, much of the documentation is still in the process of being updated.

FBDK 2.0 is deployed using Java(TM) Web Start technology, which allows it to be improved and updated continuously and transparently. Major improvements will be announced in this blog.

Comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcome.
