[DrJava] DrJava Update

[Jim V. F. <big...@ow...>]

Hey all,

The Interactions Preprocessor team has integrated its work with the DrJava
codebase.  We implemented two major features: syntax error highlighting
and type erasure in the interactions pane.  That's right, you can type in
generics now!  We encourage you to update your code and play around.

There are three steps that you need to take to continue developing for
DrJava.

Step 1)

In src/edu/rice/cs/lib

run 'cvs update'

This will give you the javaast.jar we spent most of the semester working
on.

Step 2)

In src/edu/rice/cs/util

run 'ant update'

We added a method to StringOps that's necessary for error highlighting.

Step 3)

Profit.  (Just kidding!  If you don't get it, don't worry.)

Add the javaast.jar to your classpath in exactly the same manner that
DynamicJava and JUnit are added.  Without this addition, you'll never be
able to compile.

Let me or Charlie know if you have any problems, and we'll do our best to
help you out.

Jim
