Erik's Window Manager is the code name for a Java based window manager. It utilizes a loosely coupled frond and back-end to allow maximum flexibility and portability.

Extremely Flexible

Because of the loose coupling of the entire program a wide variety of user interaction and visualization is possible. Future support for multi pointer X, mirroring 2 independent application's, joining user desktops, rendering in OpenGL, AJAX or Android and much more are only a breeze away.

Current Status

For now the project is not usable for day to day use.

An implementation for X with a Qt-Jambi front end is in the works. What does work now is simple floating window management with resizing, moving and proper closing. Full developer documentation is scheduled to be available in the foreseeable future.

After developer documentation is released, this project will be moved and renamed to Trinity Window Manager (TNT WM).

In short

EWM is still a one man hobby project but will, without doubt, overshadow any window manager ever created on this planet ;)
