JDE 2.2.7
***************************************************************
* PLEASE READ *
***************************************************************
* *
* This release requires semantic 1.4beta5 (or later), *
* speedbar 0.13 (or later), and eieio-0.15 or eieio-0.16. You *
* can obtain all three packages at *
* http://cedet.sourceforge.net *
* *
* Note: This release does not work with eieio-0.17beta1. *
* *
* 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.auc.dk/jde/elib.tar.gz) *
* or zip (http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/elib.zip) format. *
* *
***************************************************************
* Updated the JDE to use the latest version of the semantic
package (semantic 1.4beta5), which significantly speeds
parsing of Java source buffers.
Thanks to David Ponce for the extensive changes to
the Classes and Javadoc generator code required to
permit this update.
* Changed jde-run mode into a full-fledged mode,with its own
keymap, derived from comint mode. This avoids polluting
other comint modes with jde-run specific keybindings and
fontification.
* JDEbug now reinitializes various variables whenever you start
a debug session. Previously restarting JDEbug after certain
errors, for example, failure to launch a process, would require
restarting Emacs.
* Force the native Windows version of XEmacs to use forward
slashes as the directory separator (see directory-sep-char)
when generating paths for use in JDE functions.
* The implement interface wizard now accepts unqualified
interface names. If the wizard finds more than one interface
of the same name on jde-global-classpath, it prompts you to
select one of the interfaces to implement.
* The class buffer and inner class buffer templates now
generate skeletal implementations of intefaces that a class
implements.
Thanks to <jlopez AT cellexchange DOT com>.
* Adds JDE->Find (M-x jde-find, C-c C-v C-f) command. This
function recursively searches through your source directories
looking for matches to a regular expression that you
specify. The command requires that the Unix grep and find
utilities exist in the Emacs command path. The Cygwin Unix
emulation package provides Windows versions of these utilities.
Thanks to "Guillaume Berche" <guillaume DOT berche AT eloquant DOT com>
JDE 2.2.7beta11
* The Override Method wizard no longer requires that the class
overriding the method be compiled first. The only
requirement is that the parent of the class overriding
the method be compiled and exist on the classpath.
* Adds a new command, JDE->Project->Auto Switch
(M-x jde-toggle-project-switching), that toggles project
context switching on or off.
This command enables you to turn off project switching
temporarily, for example, when you want to diff or copy
code from one project to another.
* jde-lib-directory-name can now be a regular expression
that matches the name of directories that contain zip
or jar files.
* JDEbug now updates the local variables display and stack
navigation menu when the debuggee process stops at a watchpoint.
* The JDEBug watchpoint command now defaults to the field at point
and to "all" as the program suspension policy when a field
is accessed or modified.
* Note: the following change never made it into the previous
release because of a typo.
JDEbug no longer sets the priority of the thread that
reads debuggee standard input from Emacs. Previously
JDEbug set the priority of this thread to the highest
allowed. There is no input from Emacs on app launch so
the read operation performed by this thread blocks.
Perhaps setting it to top priority leads
to a deadlock on some systems.
* This release incorporates the following improvements to
jde-import-kill-extra-imports:
- jde-import-kill-extra-imports now refreshes the buffer's
parse cache. This fixes a bug where successive calls to the
function would incorrectly remove imports.
- jde-import-kill-extra-imports now removes fully qualified
imports that are not referenced in the code.
Thanks to "Javier Lopez" <jlopez AT cellexchange DOT com> for
these improvements.
JDE 2.2.7beta10
* Bug fix: JDE no longer overwrites local version of
after-change-functions. Thanks to David Ponce.
* The following changes are stabs in the dark at trying
to solve the JDEbug application launch hangup problem that
some users experience.
- This release sets a limit (15 seconds) to the time that
JDEbug waits for Emacs to connect to the socket used to
interface Emacs to the standard I/O of the debuggee process.
Some users find that JDEbug hangs when trying to launch
a debuggee application. The hang appears to occur in the
process of setting up the debuggee I/O interface. If the
hangup is caused by Emacs being unable to connect to the
SIO socket, this should at least allow the debug session
to continue, though without the standard I/O interface.
- JDEbug no longer sets the priority of the thread that
reads debuggee standard input from Emacs. Previously
JDEbug set the priority of this thread to the highest
allowed. There is no input from Emacs on app launch so
the read operation performed by this thread blocks.
Perhaps setting it to top priority leads
to a deadlock on some systems.
* Bug fixes to project file facility contributed by Nick
Sieger:
- Project files no longer quote variable values twice.
- Save project command no longer incorrectly attempts to
use path of a file in the project root directory for
the path of the directory.
JDE 2.2.7beta9
* Fixed regression bug in context-sensitive class help function
that caused the help not to work for docsets specified by URLs.
* Bug fix: JDEbug. The JDE now correctly parses messages from
JDEbug that contained backslashes. This eliminates hanging
in some cases.
Note: it's possible, though improbable, that this bug
causes the JDEbug startup problems that some users are
experiencing. If you have experienced the hang on startup
problem, please let me know whether the new release makes
any difference.
* Bug fix: JDEbug. The local variables buffer is now able
to display a char variable whose value is a backslash.
JDE 2.2.7beta8
* Improvements to syntax coloring contributed by David Ponce:
- All extra fontification added by jde-java-font-lock has a specific
face. So there is less font-lock implementation dependencies,
greater flexibility to setup a color theme, and fontification can
be kept consistent across Emacs flavors. Notice that this change
may require to redo some face customization.
- For convenience all specific jde-java-font-lock faces are in the
customization group `jde-java-font-lock-faces' which is a sub group
of `font-lock-highlighting-faces' (Emacs) or `font-lock-faces'
(XEmacs).
- Better fontification of numbers and imported package names.
- When used interactively the command
`jde-java-font-lock-setup-keywords' automatically update
fontification of all Java buffers. This is very useful when you
change your API file for example!
- The `jde-setup-syntax-coloring' is greatly enhanced. On Emacs, it
takes care of the current `global-font-lock-mode' setting. Also, it
no more use `font-lock-defaults-alist' (which is an obsolete
variable on Emacs 21) but the preferred `font-lock-defaults' way to
setup fontification.
- Finally, jde-java-font-lock works in java-mode too and it can be
used standalone if needed.
* Extended support for relative path, environment variable substitution,
etc., to all JDE paths.
Thanks to Nick Sieger for this enhancement.
* XEmacs compatibility fix: pass nil third argument to local-variable-if-set-p.
Thanks to Nick Sieger.
JDE 2.2.7beta7
* jde-help-find-javadoc now uses url-file-exists (from the w3
package) if it is in your load-path. Otherwise, it uses
wget.
Thanks to Knut Wannheden <wannhedenk AT post DOT ch> and
klaus DOT berndl AT sdm DOT de for this fix.
* jdb interface has been fixed to work around JDK 1.3 bug
that causes the jdb command prompt to sometimes appear in
the wrong place in jdb output.
Thanks to Andy Bennett <andrew DOT bennett AT ericsson DOT com>
for this fix.
* Fixed bug in jde-package-get-directories-in-classpath
that caused it to return t instead of a list when the
classpath contained ".".
* If'ed out fontifying exception stack trace in run buffer
when running in XEmacs. This is temporary until I can code
an alternative to font-lock-add-keywords, which XEmacs does
not support.
* The JDE now replaces occurrences of lib directories in
classpaths with the jar and zip files that those directories
contain. This means that you no longer have to include
jar and zip files explicitly in classpaths. See
jde-expand-classpath-p and jde-lib-directory-name for details.
* This release enhances the JDE project file system to support
hierarchical project files. The enhanced code remembers which
project files set options and will save them back to the appropriate
project file when the project is saved.
When the values of variables are newly customized, the new value is
saved in the deepest project file found relative to the buffer where
`jde-save-project' is invoked. Thus, the buffer where you save the
project controls in whic project file newly customized values are
saved.
A side-effect of the changes is where do relative paths resolve to
now that path-related options can be set by multiple project files?
The project system solves that problem by resolving relative paths
relative to the project file that defines the option.
Thanks to "Nick Sieger" <nsieger AT bitstream DOT net> for contributing this
enhancement.
JDE 2.2.7beta6
* Implements hierarchical project files.
The JDE now saves only variables that have been customized for the
current session in project files. The JDE now loads project files in
the following manner. It first sets all the JDE variables to their
Emacs startup values (i.e., the default value or the value saved in
your .emacs file). It then loads all the project files in the
directory tree containing the current source buffer, starting with
the topmost file.
What this means is that you can now use project files to
extend and/or override the settings in your .emacs file and
in other project files. For example, your .emacs file can
specify settings that are common to all your projects.
You can put settings common to a group of projects at the
top of the directory tree containing the projects, settings
common to each project at the top of the directory containing
each projects, and so on.
Thanks to Nick Sieger for contributing to this enhancement.
* Includes minor improvements to the JDE's package statement
generation facility contributed by David Ponce.
JDE 2.2.7beta5
* Replaced use of the which function, which is not in the Emacs
or XEmacs distribution, with executable-find, which is in both
distributions. The JDE now requires executable.el which defines
executable-find. executable.el is in the sh-script package in
the XEmacs distribution.
* The JDE now supports use of relative paths wherever the JDE
requires a path, for example, when setting jde-global-classpath.
The JDE converts relative paths if jde-resolve-relative-paths is
set to a non-nil value (the default). The JDE converts a relative
path to an absolute path by appending the relative path to the
path of the project file for the current buffer or, if no such
file exists, to the path of the current Java source buffer.
You can use relative paths and environment variables to
construct portable project files. For example, suppose your
project directory has the following structure:
myprj
classes
pkg1
pkg2
src
pkg1
pkg2
prj.el
Further suppose that your project uses beans from a
shared library specified by the environment variable
BEANS. With this setup, you can specify jde-global-classpath as
./src
./classes
$BEANS/lib/dials.jar
and jde-compile-option-directory as
./classes
This causes the JDE to store classes compiled from your src
directory in the classes directory. Note that you have not
used any absolute paths in creating your project file. This
means you can move your project anywhere without having to update
the project file.
* jde-project-name is now a customizable variable that specifies
the name of the current project.
* JDE->Options->Project File->Save (M-x jde-save-project) now prompts
you to enter the name of the directory in which to save a new
project file.
* This releases adds a new command, JDE->Options->Project File->Save In
(M-x jde-save-project-in) that saves the current project in a
directory.
JDE 2.2.7beta4
* Now jde-which-method mode updates the method in the mode line
during idle times instead of after every keystroke. This
eliminates the slowdown in keyboard navigation caused by this
mode in earlier releases.
Thanks to Steven Monnier for this improvement.
* Which-method-mode is once again enabled by default. To disable
it, customize jde-which-method-mode to nil.
* Modified the way JDEbug launches a debuggee process. In
particular, JDEbug now sets up the process standard I/O on
the standard I/O socket connection thread. Previously JDEbug
waited for the socket connect thread to die before setting
up the standard I/O threads. JDEbug now also writes a header
line to the standard I/O socket on startup. I'm hoping that
these changes will eliminate the startup hang problem that
affects some users.
JDE 2.2.7beta3
* Disable jde-which-method-mode by default.
This mode slows down scrolling, which is disconserting to
new users, who assume that it is an unavoidable problem
with using the JDE. Better to let users specifically enable
this mode so that they are aware of its existance and its
impact on scrolling performance.
* Fixed bug in compile and run commands that caused them to
fail if a classpath is not specified.
* Now initializes jde-mode-abbrev-table to ensure
compatability with cc-mode 5.28.
Thanks to David Ponce for this fix.
* Fixed incorrect generation of javadoc index path in
jde-javadoc-make function.
Thanks to "William G. Griswold" <wgg AT cs DOT ucsd DOT edu> for this fix.
* Updated Beanshell to latest production version: 1.01.
* Added customization variable, bsh-startup-directory.
* JDE->Run App (jde-run), if prefixed by C-u, now prompts
you to enter the name of the main class to run.
* Changed the jde-help-get-doc function to invoke apply
with a list as the last argument.
Thanks to Adrian Robert <arobert AT polexis DOT com> for this
fix.
* Enhanced jde-help-symbol (JDE->Help->Symbol at Point) command
to permit accessing javadoc pages located at remote (http)
as well as local URL addresses. Accessing remote pages
requires that the GNU utility, wget, be installed on your
system in the Emacs exec-path. Native Windows and cygwin
versions of this utility are available on the Internet.
Thanks to Adrian Robert <arobert AT polexis DOT com> for providing
the initial version of this enhancement.
* Fixed author line in jde-gen templates.
Thanks to Karel DOT Sprenger AT compaq DOT com.
* Completion index menu now pops up at point in Emacs and at
the current mouse postion in XEmacs. I'd like the menu to
popup at point in XEmacs but I can't figure out how to do it.
Thanks to Matt_Conway AT i2 DOT com for providing the initial
version of this enhancement.
* Fixed regular expression for finding package in
source buffer so that there must be a space between package
and the package name. This is to prevent false hits.
Thanks to Rory Molinari <molinari AT math DOT lsa DOT umich DOT edu>.
JDE 2.2.7beta2
* Add jde-java-font-lock.api to the JDE zip files.
* You can now use tilde (~) notation in paths.
* You can now use environment variables, tilde notation, and
cygwin syntax in jde-compile-option-directory path.
* Adds jde-package-update command.
This command generates or updates the package statement at
the head of the current Java source buffer based on the
location of the buffer directory in the classpath.
Thanks to David Ponce for providing this command.
* The class, console app, and Swing app templates now prompt
you to enter a package name. The prompt includes a suggested
package name based on the location of the current directory
in the classpath.
JDE 2.2.7beta1
* Completion now asks user whether to import a class that it
cannot find. Thanks to Phillip Lord.
* Adds cflow expansions for try, catch, and finally.
Thanks to Venkatesh Prasad Ranganath <rvprasad AT ksu DOT edu> for these expansions.
* Changed oref-engine to oref in jde-dbs-proc-set-find.
* Font-locking improvements from David Ponce
- You can now fontify user-defined identifiers with the new
jde-java-font-lock-api-face. These identifiers are read in the
file specified by the `jde-java-font-lock-api-file' option.
The JDE provides a default file "jde-java-font-lock.api" to
fontify class names of the core 'java' and 'javax' packages (JDK
1.3) and servlet API (JSDK 2.0). To enable this fontification
just put this file on your home directory, maybe modify it to suit
your needs and execute the command:
M-x jde-java-font-lock-setup-keywords
(or restart Emacs).
To improve reloading a cache file of regular expressions matching
these names is created in the same directory (see the
source for more details).
- Because the 'const' and 'goto' keywords are reserved, but not
currently used they are now fontified with `font-lock-warning-face'.
- The 'default' keyword is now fontified with
`font-lock-keyword-face'. This was suggested by Stephane Nicolas
s DOT nicolas AT videotron DOT ca>.
* Changed the definition of formal_parameter_list in the Java grammar
to improve performance (less backtracking) when parsing parameters
in method and constructor declarations. Thanks to David Ponce.
* Adds jde-abbrev-mode and jde-show-abbrev commands. Thanks to
s DOT nicolas AT videotron DOT ca.
* Add "\." to the definition of class_type in jtags script so
that methods whose return type included a period (e.g, Foo.Bar)
are tagged:
class_type="\<\([$capital][a-zA-Z_$digit\.]*\)\>"
Thanks to Charles Rich <rich AT merl DOT com>
* Fixed infinite recursion bug in jde-parse-update-after-parse when
creating a new file.
* Add jde-cygwin-path-converter variable. This variable allows you to
choose a function
for converting cygwin paths to DOS paths. The default function implements
the current
method for converting paths. Alternatives include a function that uses
cygwin's
cygpath utility or a function that you supply.
* Adds support for environment variable substitution in
jde-global-classpath and
jde-db-source-directories, e.g., "$JDK_HOME/src", is a valid entry in
jde-db-source-directories.
* Updates all customization variable definitions to permit completion of
path names
in customization buffers. To complete an entry in any path field, press
M, then Tab.
Note, you must press the keys successively, not simultaneously.
* Makes the following changes to the jtags scripts.
(1) Added "-l none" to the etags arguments (all four calls) to
eliminate the additional spurious tags that were coming from etags'
default java parsing:
${etags_dir}etags -l none -a -o ${java_dir}/TAGS \
(2) Added "\/" to the prohibited characters at the start of class2,
method1 and method2 to prevent comment lines like
// this is a nice interface for catching mice
getting tagged:
class2="/^[^.*\/]*\($modifier$ws*\)*\<\(class\|interface\)\>$ws*$identifier/
\7/"
Thanks to Charles Rich <rich AT merl DOT com> for these improvements.
* Makes the following improvments to the javadoc facility:
- Improved `jde-javadoc-start-tag-regexp' and
`jde-javadoc-end-tag-regexp' regular expressions which fix little
problems when parsing javadoc tags. These regexps enforce the
following rule (from JDK 1.3 documentation "javadoc - The Java API
Documentation Generator" - Chapter "DOCUMENTATION COMMENTS" -
"Standard and in-line tags":
"[...] a standard tag must appear at the beginning of a line,
ignoring leading asterisks, white space and comment separator
(/**). This means you can use the @ character elsewhere in the text
and it will not be interpreted as the start of a tag. If you want to
start a line with the @ character and not have it be interpreted,
use the HTML entity @. [...]"
- `jde-javadoc-checker-report-mode' now turns on `font-lock-mode'.
This is useful in XEmacs which don't have a `global-font-lock-mode'.
- Filling of messages in `jde-javadoc-checker-show-report' now works
with XEmacs too.
Thanks to David Ponce for these improvements.
* Fixes bug that inserted -sourcepath argument twice in the javadoc command
line.
