New version of JPF is available for download. This release features several new functions, fixing errors and internal improvements.
The major changes since previous release are:
* To the DefaultApplicationInitializer class from JPF-Boot library added possibility to provide lists of plug-ins to be included/excluded from application (white and black lists). Thanks to Jonathan Giles for an idea.
* All Ant tasks improved to be able to work with single file plug-ins (JAR'ed or ZIP'ed). Thanks to Prashant M. R.
* Added possibility of advanced control of application splash screen in JPF-Boot library.
* The main() method in JPF-Boot library is now refactored to allow more accurate controlling of application bootstrap procedure. Among other benefits, this allows to write unit tests for plug-ins and JPF based applications.
* Added "reverse-lookup" attribute to plug-in manifest "import" tag. Setting this attribute to "true" allows imported plug-in to see classes in depending plug-in. This flag helps creating plug-ins that can see classes in other plug-ins not depending on them. This feature is very similar to Eclipse' "buddy class loading" behavior.
* Several internal improvements in StandardPluginManager and StandardPluginClassLoader.
