GDBI v13 (GEDCOM Database Interface)

GDBI v13 is now available. GDBI (GEDCOM Database Interface) is an open-source, cross-platform program written in Java. It can be downloaded here (sourceforge.net).

GDBI is a genealogy program integrator. It includes an editor and the lifelines report language. It interfaces to 3 GEDCOM databases: phpGedView, GenJ (GenealogyJ), and jLifelines. At the core is a common Java API to simplify adding more databases and editors.
