Re: [DrJava] Committed version; ready for release?

[Charles R. <cr...@ri...>]

I'm going to have to recommend putting out the release before the 
debugger stuff gets in.  There's no reason to put in the extra code if 
it won't get used, and there's enough issues with it that I don't feel 
comfortable having it in this release.

I think we have enough to go on, though.  The new indent system, new 
config framework, and lots of little bug fixes and feature requests 
(like opening files from the command line) already make it a better program.

If you want to wait for line numbering, I'm working with Jim on it 
tomorrow at 1:00, and expect to have it finished that afternoon.  I 
don't mind waiting for the next release, though, which will also include 
a usable debugger (and whatever else is ready).
