Examples
Apple Computer developed one of the first commercial application frameworks, MacApp (first released in 1985), for the Macintosh. Originally written in an extended (object-oriented) version of Pascal, it later appeared rewritten in C++. Other popular frameworks for the Mac include Metrowerks' PowerPlant and MacZoop (All based on Carbon). Cocoa for Mac OS X offers a different approach to an application framework, one based upon the OPENSTEP framework developed at NeXT.
Free-software frameworks exist as part of the Mozilla, OpenOffice.org, GNOME, KDE, NetBeans and Eclipse projects.
Microsoft markets a framework for developing Windows applications in C++ called the Microsoft Foundation Class Library.
A number of frameworks can build cross-platform applications for Linux, Macintosh, and Windows from the same source code, such as Qt, the widget toolkits wxWidgets, FOX toolkit, or Eclipse RCP.
Oracle Application Development Framework (Oracle ADF) aids in producing Java-oriented systems.
