"The JGenerator" is an open source Java application from JZox which offered functionality similar to that of Macromedia Generator.
Product history[]
When Macromedia discontinued support for Generator with version 2.6 in June 2003,[1] the last version did not support the new Macromedia Flash MX format.[2]
Independent programmer Dmitry Skavish had developed JGenerator with Java in 2000 to offer similar functionality through an open source implementation which ran up to 20 times faster.[3] JGenerator version 2.1 MX added support for Flash MX.[4][5]
Editions[]

A Developer Edition had also been made available for version 2.0 to provide a development environment for individual designers or developers without support for actual server-based online content production.[7]
Discontinuation[]
