Future plans for JNeuralNet

The following are the changes planned for the project.

• We were planning to cluster out JNNHelper tool as a sub project of JNeuralNet.

• Move project to subversion for nightly builds. Only the milestone releases will be available for direct download.

Enhancements include:

• Add project save and load.

• Neural network check pointing while training (thanks to chandan for this idea)

• Wizard to create new algorithms

• Inbuilt editor for creating pluggable components.

• On online gallery of pluggable components, these will further be available as online updates for the GUI tool.

• Property sheets for fine grained customization of the neural network.

The last four enhancements are the reason we are planning to move onto Netbeans platform. It has extensive documentation at Netbeans Platform Home. I personally found these screencasts to be excellent, a must see if you want to learn the netbeans platform.

These enhancements will be added in the next milestone release (hopefully). Suggestions and comments are welcome.

We are also planning to include screen casts for tool usage, plugin development and demo applications using Wink, contributors are more than welcome.
