You can obtain all three * * packages at http://cedet.sourceforge.net * * * * This release requires version 1.2.2 (or later) of the * * JDK. * * * * Note: This release does not work with eieio-0.17beta1, but * * it does work with eieio-0.17beta2. * * * * This release also requires avltree.el, which is part of the * * elib 1.0 package. You can obtain elib at the JDE web site * * in compressed tar (http://sunsite.dk/jde/elib.tar.gz) * * or zip (http://sunsite.dk/jde/elib.zip) format. * * * * JDEbug runs on Windows 2000 only if Service Pack 2 (or * * later) is installed. * * * * If syntax-coloring does not work, download and install * * overlay-fix.el from the semantic web site. * * * *************************************************************** * The JDE's Java code has been enhanced to speed lookup of qualified class names and project switching. These changes require version 1.2.2 or later of the JDK. Thanks to Eric Friedman. * Automatic parsing of Java buffers now reparses only that portion of a buffer that has changed whenever possible. This should speed up reparsing of buffers after most changes. Note that this change requires semantic 1.4beta10 (or later). Thanks to David Ponce. * This release uses a new algorithm for determining when to reparse a buffer. When the buffer is modified `jde-parse-buffer-changed-hook' check the auto-parse timer to see if the auto-parse task is about to be triggered (< 2 secs). If so it delay the triggering of auto-parse (+ 10 secs) to let you finish typing before doing a re-parse. And so on. Thanks to David Ponce. * This release fixes the `font-lock-add-keywords' problem reported by Klaus Berndl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Thanks to David Ponce. * Completion methods now places the cursor in between parenthesis when the method contains parameters. * JDEBug does not split the frame in 3 windows anymore. * JDEBug does not retrieve the local variables and the stack information by default. * Adds the commands jde-bug-toggle-local-variables and jde-bug-toggle-stack-info. The first command enables retrieving the local variables while stepping using JDEbug, and the latter enables retrieving stack information. * This release adds a set of customization variables intended to facilitate switching from one version of the JDK to another. - jde-jdk-registry Specifies the versions and locations of the JDKs installed on your system. This variable determines the set of legal values for the jde-jdk variable (see next release note). - jde-jdk Specifies the location and version of the JDK currently being used by the JDE. The customization buffer for this variable displays a set of radio buttons that reflect all the registered JDKs on your system. You can thus switch from one registered JDK to another simply by selecting the button of the desired JDK. - jde-java-environment-variables Specifies the environment variables that specify the default location of the current JDK. The default names of the variables are JAVA_HOME and JAVA_VERSION. * Adds the command jde-get-jdk-dir. This command returns the root directory of the JDK currently targeted by the JDE. The target JDK is the JDK specified by jde-jdk variable, of if this variable is null, by the jde-java-environment variables, or if these are not defined, by the PATH environment variable. * Adds a new command, jde-java-version, that returns the version of Java being used by the JDE. This command returns the version specified by the jde-jdk variable, or if this is not defined by the JAVA_VERSION environment variable, or if neither of these are defined by the "java.version" property of the vm used to run the BeanShell. Note that in the latter case, executing this command causes the BeanShell to be launched if it is not already running. Future versions of the JDE will use this command to adapt to differences among JDK versions, for example, to set JDK-version-specific command line options required to launch a process in debug attach mode. * Completion methods now shows the exceptions that the method could throw. Thanks to Petter Måhlén [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] * Adds a Beanshell-based "compile server" for compiling Java programs. The compile server uses the same Java compiler as javac but it uses the Beanshell to invoke the compiler instead of starting a new vm just to do the compilation. This avoids the vm startup time that accounts for most of the time spent by javac on compiling a class. The result is lightening fast compilation of your classes. To use the compile server instead of javac to compile your classes, set jde-jdk-directory to the root of the JDK that you are using to develop your project and set the variable jde-compile-server on. Thanks to Javier Lopez. * The JDE->Help->JDK command command now looks for the JDK doc at jde-jdk-directory/docs/index.html if it cannot find the doc at jde-jdk-doc-url. The command now also checks for the existence of the doc locally or on the web and errors out if it cannot find it. * Added customization variable jde-complete-signature-display-time, allows users to choose for how long to display the signature of the last completion. * Adds customization variable jde-complete-signature-display, allows to choose what display to use to show the signature of the last completion. * Adds jde-complete-display-current-signature command. This command displays the signature of the last completion. * Fixed compile buffer fontification problem caused by copying global post-command-hook into local post-command-hook in jde-mode-internal. Thanks to David Ponce. * Adds jde-stat-loc-report-directory and jde-stat-loc-report-project. These commands generate a report showing the number of code, comment, javadoc, and blank lines in all the java files in the current directory and subdirectories respectively. Note: These methods will kill any buffer containing a java file contained in the current directory or subdirectories. * Redefined jde-db-debugger to permit selection of three debuggers: JDEbug, new jdb, and old jdb. Note: you need to update all project files that use this variable. * Redefined jde-compiler to allow selection of the following options: javac executable, javac server, and jikes executable. This paves the way for providing explicit support for jikes and various versions of javac. Note: you must update any project files that customize this variable.
