Ober v0.9.7 now uses JavaScript (Mozilla's Rhino) instead of OGNL and has a new Text.Calc command. See the help message on startup for details.

The biggest new thing in this release is a pluggable GUI layer. Now Ober supports both Swing and SWT, with an Eclipse plugin coming soon!

We now have namespaces with default commands (including a default shell command for the System namespace). Check it the other exciting changes!

I'm finishing the namespace code as I have time. This makes namespaces into real objects (instead of just string prefixes). That whole point of this is to allow namespaces to handle default commands (e.g. so you can middle click on a shell command and get the output, like in Wiley).

Ober version 0.9.1 is out. New features include better location choosing for new viewers, default colors for track and main tags, and namespaces.

If you use Java and you like (or miss) the Oberon environmen, I suggest you give this a try. I'd like to get your feedback.

This is still in its infancy, but it is already quite functional and useable.
