[Plastic-user] New ACR implementation of Plastic Hub supporting v0.3 released

[John T. <jd...@ro...>]

Hi All,
Noel has just released a new version of the ACR and it includes some 
updates and fixes to the plastic hub.
Specifically:
    It implements the new methods that we've referred to as "version 0.3":
    http://wiki.eurovotech.org/bin/view/VOTech/DsSixPlasticInterfaceChanges

    It has some bug fixes (the occasional nullpointer caused by 
supplying a name with spaces in it)

    It's been much more thoroughly tested (lots of JUnit tests)

    It has the prototype but unofficial pollingListener type for Marco

    It has a nicer way of listing the currently registered applications 
- go to the hub module page and it's the first link you come to.  I 
don't know if this will persist beyond the restructuring of the ACR gui 
that's currently under discussion, but it's quite handy for now.

    It shouldn't return values for applications that have registered as 
either "no callback" or "polling"

Sadly, it still "pops" when an application registers...(next on my list, 
I promise).

You can download it from here:

and the javadocs and links to the jars (version 0.3.0) with the API are
