Cc: jde AT sunsite DOT dk, ntemacs-users AT cs DOT washington DOT edu, cygwin AT cygwin DOT com, xemacs-nt AT xemacs DOT org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" http://jde.sunsite.dk/ 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 . * 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" 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" 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 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 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" 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" 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 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 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 . 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 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 * 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 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. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
