This development release of DrJava provides several significant improvements. The debugger is now almost always available, rather than having to specify tools.jar on the classpath to use it, while DrJava also does a better job of finding tools.jar on Windows. Commands have been added for commenting and uncommenting blocks of code, and the Undo command can now undo a block indentation in one command. Please help us test this release by downloading it from the "more download options" link on our home page.

A new stable release of DrJava is now available, providing key bug fixes for the Interactions Pane. DrJava is an integrated Java development environment that supports interactive evaluation of expressions. It is primarily intended for students, but it has features useful even for advanced users.

This release includes several bug fixes to the RMI code that allows the main portion of DrJava to communicate with the Interactions Pane. These fixes should resolve the recent problems users have experienced with resetting the Interactions Pane. For more detailed information, please see the Release Notes.

This development release includes more improvements to the communication code in DrJava, which should help laptop users who move between different networks. Please help us test this release by downloading it from the "more download options" link on our home page.

This development release includes a new approach for the communication between the main DrJava JVM and the JVM used by the Interactions Pane. It should resolve many of the Interactions Pane problems that users have recently encountered, and it needs to be tested on all platforms.

DrJava is featured in the December 24th edition of the Swing Sightings article on java.sun.com. The feature gives exposure to applications that are "good examples of what is possible with Swing." Thanks to the editors for including us! The article is available at: http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/sightings/S13.html

DrJava is an integrated Java development environment that supports interactive evaluation of expressions. A minor update to DrJava has been released, including new application icons and a splash screen. We have also added documentation for developers to help set up a build environment, which is available on the drjava project web site.

A new stable release of DrJava is now available. DrJava is an integrated Java development environment that supports interactive evaluation of expressions. It is primarily intended for students, but it has features useful even for advanced users.

This release includes several bug fixes and usabilty enhancements since the last stable release, including significantly improved JUnit support and support for JDK 1.4.1 and JSR-14 versions 1.2 and 1.3. More detailed information can be found in the Release Notes.

This beta release is in preparation for the next stable release of DrJava, and contains mainly bug fixes and usability enhancements (including support for JDK 1.4.1 and improved JUnit support). Please test this version and let us know any bugs you find!

We have updated the web site for DrJava to make it easier to navigate and to provide more information on DrJava. Some of the changes include an improved menu of links, a Frequently Asked Questions page, and a more comprehensive Publications page. Let us know if you have any other suggestions for the site!

This release of DrJava includes several usability enhancements, including a JUnit progress bar for tests, improved indenting speed, and selectable text on the compiler and test tabs.

This release of DrJava adds support for the Java 1.4.1 and JSR-14 v1.2 compilers. (The latter is an experimental compiler available from Sun which supports generics.) DrJava developers can now also compile the DrJava codebase with JSR-14 v1.2, instead of the previous v1.0 requirement.

This version provides a key bug fix for international users which prevented DrJava from starting.

This is primarily a maintenance release, resolving many issues from the last stable release (drjava-stable-20020814). Notably, some JUnit, RMI, and classpath issues have all been fixed, so all users are encouraged to upgrade to this release until the next stable release. See the release notes for more details on the other bug fixes and features which have been added.

The second stable release of DrJava (drjava-stable-20020814) is now available! DrJava is an integrated Java development environment that supports interactive evaluation of expressions. It is primarily intended for students beginning to learn Java, but has features useful even for advanced users.

This release fixes several bugs from the most recent beta release, which included the new Preferences window, Debugger, and browseable help. The full list of fixed and outstanding bugs is outlined in the Release Notes.

This beta release is in preparation for the second stable version of DrJava, and includes all the new features from the recent develoment releases, such as an integrated debugger, preferences window, and browesable help files. Please test this version and submit any bugs you find!

This release primarily contains improvements in the debugging features, such as a graphical display of debugging information and the ability to watch fields and variables. The user documentation is also now browseable from the Help menu.

This new development version of DrJava includes a completely redesigned debugger. If you put Sun's tools.jar on your classpath, you can now set breakpoints in methods called from the Interactions Pane. This early release is intended for testing-- more debugging features will be added in the near future.

A new development version of DrJava has been released, including a new Preferences window which allows editing configuration options while DrJava is running. Also, configurable key bindings are now supported, line number enumeration is available, a list of most recently used files is displayed, and the interactions history can be saved and loaded.

The first stable release of DrJava (drjava-stable-20020703-1520) is now available! DrJava is an integrated Java development environment that supports interactive evaluation of expressions.

All releases of DrJava are usually of stable quality, but this release serves as a milestone which has undergone a period of beta-testing. This can be safely be used by all users, while the development releases can be downloaded to see new features that are being added.... read more

DrJava is an integrated Java development environment that supports interactive evaluation of expressions.

The current version of DrJava fixes the much-maligned "disabled scrollbar on Mac OS X" bug, as well as some indentation problems with anonymous inner classes. Line numbering has been enabled after performance improvements, and exceptions that occur in DrJava's code should now be presented in a more user-friendly graphical window. See the release notes for more details on the changes.
