[Drjava-users] drjava-beta-20040908 released

[Moez A. Abdel-G. <mo...@cs...>]

This release of DrJava is a candidate stable
release. The release includes some new features
and further more bug fixes. Since the latest
stable release, we have added three major
features: full support in the Interactions pane
of DrJava for the upcoming Java 1.5, as well
as the Definitions pane, three Java language
levels (language subsets) that aim to aid in
smoothing the Java language learning curve,
and, for advanced developers, support for
projects.

Since the latest development release, we have
added a directory chooser that uses a tree
view of the file system, support to compile
and test entire DrJava projects, support for
auxiliary and external files in projects, more
consistency in the behavior and look of the
definitions pane and interactions pane,
support in the Interactions pane for the new
'&' Java 1.5 generics syntax, and, finally,
added also an 'Advanced' language level. We
fixed issues that prevented running a new
DrJava from within DrJava, as well as issues
in the Intermediate language level.

Please download and test this release as your
primary copy of DrJava.
