There is a new beta release of DrJava made in preparation for the next
stable release (http://drjava.org).
The primary features added to this release relate to improving the
Interactions Pane. First, uninitialized variables are assigned the
correct default value and initialization of multi-dimensional arrays now
works correctly. Second, newlines are automatically inserted for users if
the current interaction is not yet complete. This makes defining methods
and classes in the Interactions Pane much easier. Third, users can type
in the first few letters of a command in the history and hit the Tab key
to cycle through all commands that begin with that sequence of letters.
Fourth, the minimum size of the bottom pane has been reduced to allow more
room for editing files. Other changes include an improved undo command
that can now undo series of typed text at a time. Forward brace matching
has been added as well. Also, using System.in will no longer cause DrJava
to hang in some cases.
Please download this beta release and use it as your primary copy of
DrJava, submitting any bugs that you find. We intend to release a stable
version of DrJava based on this release by the end of this week, depending
on the feedback we receive. Thanks for your help with DrJava!
