[sdljava-users] Announcing sdljava-0.9.0

[Ivan Z. G. <iva...@ya...>]

Hello everyone,

I'm happy to announce the release of sdljava 0.9.0!  sdljava is a
binding to the SDL API for java.

You can find it here:
    http://sdljava.sourceforge.net

sdljava provides a complete binding to all the SDL API functions.
Almost the entire binding has been implemented.  Please see the TODO
for a list of what is still pending.
       
Required/Recommended Libraries: (higher version should be fine)

     - Java 1.5
     - SDL 1.2.7
     
     - SDL_image 1.2.3 (optional)
     - SDL_mixer 1.2.5 (optional)
     - SDL_ttf 2.0.6   (optional)
     - SDL_gfx 2.0.13  (optional)
     - Ant 1.6.2       (optional, only if you need to compile
               sdljava.jar)
     - ruby 1.8.2      (optional, only if you want to re-generate
               native layer)
     - SWIG 1.3.22     (optional, only if you want to re-generate
               native layer)


Please let me know any questions, comments or feedback.  I hope you
will find this useful!

Regards,
-Ivan/

Hello Ivan,
thanks for taking over jsdl! sdljava looks very promising and I am going 
to write an output layer for it in our game (freefodder.dev.java.net)

Unfortunately, I hoped to escape the Java trap by using a Java binding 
to SDL but sdljava needs at least JDK 1.5.0 . Are you
planning to support 1.4 at a later time?
I know that Java5 is now officially released but it will take a long 
time before GNU Classpath, the Free java class library, (where I am 
helping out)
will support 1.5 features. Until that time our game relies on non-Free 
software and cannot being run by people who care about their software 
freedom.

Nevertheless I greatly appreciate your effort!

Robert

Re: [sdljava-users] Announcing sdljava-0.9.0

A few people have mentioned this.  It never really occurred to me but I 
see now that choosing to limit to 1.5.0 or greater was not a good 
choice.  sdljava will be changed to work with java 1.4 or higher.  We'll 
loose the enums and the use of the generics in the lists but this is 
done only in a few places and its not much of a loss compared to the 
much greater compatibility gained.

Thanks for the feedback,
-Ivan/
