JDE-2.2.0 Release Notes
***************************************************************
* PLEASE READ *
***************************************************************
* *
* This release requires semantic 1.2.1 (or later) and *
* speedbar 0.11.1 or later. You can obtain both at *
* http://www.ultranet.com/~zappo/semantic.shtml *
* *
* *
* *
***************************************************************
* You can now specify a list of packages to exclude from import
into a source file. See jde-wiz-import-excluded-packages for
more information. Thanks to "Jim Loverde" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for this enhancement.
* Changed name of jde-wiz-insert-excluded-packages-regexp to
jde-wiz-import-excluded-packages.
Update your .emacs and prj.el files to reflect this change.
* The CLI interface buffer of JDEbug now accepts output from
the debuggee application that does not end in an end-of-line
character, i.e., System.out.print() works as well as
System.out.println()
* The JDE has a new wizard: the Delegate Wizard. This wizard
creates methods that cause an object to delegate tasks
to another object. See the JDE user's guide for more
information. Thanks to Charles Hart <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for this enhancement.
* All JDE templates now provide a choice of coding styles:
class A {
} // Kerningham & Ritchie Style
or
class A
{
}
Thanks to Stephane Nicolas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for
extending this coding style support.
* Templates now indent correctly when inserted in a buffer.
Thanks to el mono <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for this enhancement.
* This release includes many enhancements to the JDE's completion wizard,
including support for
- this and super keywords
The JDE will now complete
this.
and
super.
- completion of static fields and methods
For example, completing
System.o
results in
System.out
- completion of variables declared in a method's argument list, e.g.,
void foo(String s) {
s.g
^
// The JDE now completes this expression.
}
- completion of object and class fields to any depth
For example, completing
System.out.
lists all the methods of the out stream object.
Similarly,
Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSi
completes to Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
- .x --> this.x
Completing on
.
is the same as completing on
this.
Thanks to Stephane Nicolas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for these extensive
enhancements to the JDE's completion facility.
* The new command jde-stat-loc-report generates a lines-of-code report for the
current Java source buffer. The report lists the number of code, comment,
javadoc,
and blank lines in the buffer. Thanks to Stephane Nicolas
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
for contributing the initial version of this command.
* This release includes a new subdirectory:
JDEROOT/java/bsh-commands/bsh/commands
for storing BeanShell command scripts. To create a Beanshell command, write
the command as a Beanshell script and store the script in this directory.
* This release provides a new BeanShell command
whichClass(String className);
that returns the first instance of a class found on the classpath
specified by jde-global-classpath. Thanks to
Niranjan Rao <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for contributing this script.
* This release provides support for displaying line numbers in the left hand
margin of Java source buffers. Two customization variables control the line
number display. Line numbers appear in a buffer only if
jde-setnu-mode-enable is non-nil and the number of characters
in the buffer is less than jde-setnu-threshhold. The reason for disabling
line number display in large buffers is that it makes the buffer
slow to respond to insertions and deletions. To override the threshhold,
enter the setnu-mode command with the buffer active.
