Open-qub is an open-source tool for developers to create user interfaces and generate source code for the UIQ 2.1 platform in just a few clicks. Once satisfied with your user interface, just let the code generator turn everything into source code ready to be compiled.
Features
Open QUB includes more than ten different controls, which come with a range of unique properties. Good examples of commonly used controls that Open QUB supports are CEikBitmapButton, CEikCheckBox, CEikTestBox, CEikLabel, and CQikSlider.
Place the controls freely in multiple views.
A plug-in architecture allows developers to easily add new controls.
Open QUB has also extensive support for creation of dialogs and menus.
Once satisfied with the user interface, just let the code generator turn everything into source code ready to be compiled.
Open QUB is written in Java which makes it platform independent.
History
Open QUB started as a student project supervised by UIQ Technology during spring 2002. When the projected was completed in May 2002 people at UIQ Technology were very happy with the results.
During autumn 2002 the tool was extended by two students to support menus.
In early 2004 UIQ Technology decided to release the source code for Open QUB in public. Now it is available for download at Sourceforge.
Future
Hopefully there is an interest among UIQ developers to continue the development of Open QUB. Right now the tool can be pretty useful when developing small UIQ applications, but with some functionality enhancements we believe it could become a helpful tool even for the most advanced UIQ developer.
Here's a list of some of the features we plan to implement in future versions of Open QUB:
Add plug-ins for all existing controls in UIQ 2.1.
Support for multiple tab screens.
Possible to import bitmaps into projects.
Possible to import icons.
Possible to customise the button bar.
Support for categories.
Improvement of code generation and plug-in structure.
Increased user-friendliness.
Support for event handling.
Code editor/viewer.

I've installed the file qub_v1_00 but when i try to launch this application, the process javaw is created but the application don't run.
is it running with Windows XP SP1 ?
Sounds like javaw is either the incorrect version or not in your path.
try typing java -version in the directory where run.bat is installed. This will tell you which version version of java is installed and whether java is installed correctly. You may need to update your path to point to the correct java installation
I have also faced similar problem but fortunately its now resolved. Make sure to copy all files in System drive, and not any other, also the exact path to .jar file should not contain any blank spaces.
