Re: [macker-user] Is Macker still maintained ? Is there JDK1.5 support ?

[Paul C. <can...@po...>]

Hi Morten. I noticed your email went unanswered for ages -- sorry  
about that!

Macker is still used. It doesn't get many updates, mostly because it  
is simple and doesn't receive many bug reports or enhancement  
requests.  But yes, people are using it.

I am currently starting work on the next release of Macker.  It will  
run under JDK 1.5 only (though it will still check classes compiled  
for previous JDKs), and will include more sophistaced rule expressions.

The current release of Macker will likely work with 1.5 classes,  
because the 1.5 changes are mostly in the form of extra class file  
tags, which Macker will just ignore ... though I haven't tried it  
myself.  Perhaps I should!

Cheers,

Paul
