[jEdit-Syntax-devel] New maintainer

[Henning, O. <Hen...@lo...>]

Introduction
============
The jEdit syntax highlighting is now maintained by Oliver Henning (me). I am
a Sun certified programmer from Germany. I use the package in a Java-based
database navigator for displaying/editing SQL statements.

I would really like to see the package evolve to an even more superb editor
component. So feel invited to contribute in any way.


Version number scheme
=====================
I will use a version number scheme like Linux:  Major.Minor.Revision
(Beta|RC)

An even minor number indicates stable versions, an odd minor number
indicates developer releases. So there will be a stable and an unstable
tree.

RC at the end stands for release candidate. 


Contributions
=============
Ideally, all contributions should be posted to the mailing list, so that
others can review and discuss them. If not, there are appropriate sections
on the source forge project site
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedit-syntax/). 

If you have a small fix, you can post a code snippet. If you have whole new
classes, attach the .java files. If you have major changes, please post a
patch if possible (generated by the command "diff -uNr <path_orig>
<path_new>"). Windows
user should get the diff utils for Windows or a cygwin bash for doing that.


Expect a new 2.2.2 RC 1 version real soon. 

Happy hacking,
Oliver Henning
