[iSQL-Viewer Release] Version 2.1.5

[<isq...@li...>]

Hello all, once again I apologize for the delay in time of this release 
however my life
has been rather busy. Anyhow I am very excited for this release as I am 
comfortable in
declaring it stable for day to day usage. This also means that 2.1.0 
will slowly become
less and less supported by myself to support the newer version.

This release will also mark a very stable milestone for my code such 
that a lot of the
core functionality as being an SQL console is pretty solid now, and I 
can focus on features
to compliment this core. This includes things like a live table editor 
which is probably the
most requested feature. Along with new tools I intended to create a 
better environment for
people to write small plugins to do specific tasks, such I hope that 
iSQL-Viewer will become
useful in ways I never thought conceived of.

Another reason I am excited for this release is that this will be that 
last stable release
targeted for the 1.3.1_XX API. Since the JDK is now available publicly 
to all major platforms,
those being Mac OSX, Windows, and Linux, I will now start moving to 
more JDK 1.4.1 optimized
code, and support for 1.3.1 will gradually dwindle in the upcoming 
betas.

As always a full list of things changed in this release can be viewed 
at the following location :

Here are some key things I feel are important in this release.
   ** New locale support, iSQL-Viewer is now available in german, Thanks 
to Bernd Stolle for the translations.
   ** A more complete Query Builder supporting WHERE and ORDER BY 
clauses, also it will create inner joins,
      based on foreign and primary key relationships that can detected.
   ** Better synchronization of services to the actual service files, 
such  that they are URL based
      (* yes you can edit the services.cache file and use HTTP URLS to 
load services from the web *)
   ** Better support for JDK 1.4.1 including proxy support for using the 
web check functionality.
   ** All of iSQL-Viewers core classes have been documented, along with 
that JavaDocs are online now.
   ** Better interpretations of the JDBC API particularly when dealing 
with ResultSets.
   ** More support for web start versions such that beta version will be 
available through web start.
   ** New "Quick Batch" for using existing batch preferences to quickly 
launch a batch file.
      (* NOTE:: Batch wizard is still available through the file->import 
menu *)
   ** Support for managing that list of drivers that the service manager 
uses.
      (* Under the service manager item in the preferences panel *)
