DrJava is a lightweight programming environment for Java designed to
foster test-driven software development. It includes an intelligent
program editor, an interactions pane for evaluating program text, a
source level debugger, and a unit testing tool.

In addition to bug fixes in anticipation of the next stable release,
this second beta release includes a number of new features introduced
after the last beta release:

These features include the ability to associate source, project and
add-on files with DrJava so that they can be opened by double-clicking
on them in the Windows Explorer or MacOS Finder (.java, .drjava, and
.djapp files).

The source browser was improved: Browse forward and backward like in a
web browser!

Since there still is an incompatibility between Sun's Swing GUI
library and the the Compiz window manager on Linux, we now check for
the presence of Compiz and display a warning.

Note: The default project file extension now is .drjava, not .xml anymore.

Note: Java 1.4 compatibility has been dropped with this release. To
use DrJava, you will need Java 5 or newer.


New features:
- File associations in Windows and Mac OS.
- Improved source browser.
- Display and select from all installed JDKs.
- Reorganized Preferences dialog.
- Compiz warning.
- Interactions Pane parser allows annotations.
- Completed support for nested classes (static and
non-static) in Interactions Pane.

Bug fixes:
- Bug fix for Icelandic keyboard to allow braces { } to be entered.
- Miscellaneous Interactions Pane parser bug fixes.
- Bug fixes in type checking in Interactions Pane.
- Implemented qualified super expressions in Interactions Pane.
- Fixed name resolution issues involving circular dependencies.
- Small bug fixes for Language Level facility.
