[Tockit-general] New Docco test version

[Peter B. <pe...@pe...>]

Hi all,

if some of you can spare some time: here is a new version of Docco you 
could test for me:

  http://kvo.itee.uq.edu.au/~pbecker/Docco-CVSbuild-20040406-0003.zip 
(~1.5MB)

New features/fixes:
- File->Exit now closes properly (0.2 did not safe the index metainfo 
properly)
- the "View" menu is now called "Diagram" and contains extra entries for 
graphic export and printing
- nodes can be moved, standard left-drag uses the n-dim manipulator, 
shift-left-drag moves single nodes
- the query field now has a drop-down list with the last queries (up to 
ten). This is restored between sessions, as well as the last query.
- all session management went into the Java preferences API, which means 
Registry on Windows machine, .java on UNIX/Linux. Advantages:
  - user-specific
  - no new settings after upgrades
  - no write access to installation directory needed

I also updated the PDFbox and POI plugins:

(~2MB)
  
http://kvo.itee.uq.edu.au/~pbecker/poiPlugin-CVSbuild-20040406-0003.zip 
(~1MB)

PDFBox is just a library-upgrade, they claim lots of bugfixes. It is 
quite a bit larger now -- thanks to some new Unicode mappings it seems. 
No idea if it is worth it -- experiments comparing the two versions are 
welcome.

The old POI plugin started to fail on Word documents, it seem due to JRE 
changes. Should work again, it also uses the Textmining.org text 
extractor, which should get more text out of documents (tables etc.) and 
shoudl work on Word 6.0 documents.

I'll try to give it a documentation update soon and then release it as a 
new version unless someone founds bugs.

Regards,
  Peter
