JPlate News

For further information, please see: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-1.2/svn/svn-log.html

JPlate is awash in dependencies:

- The soon to be released Parser sub-project has dependencies on both the Foundation and Environment.
- The Foundation has a dependency on the Environment.
- The Environment has dependencies on JavaCC, FindBugs, Beanshell, etc.

Therefore, Ivy is going to be used to manage dependencies of all JPlate sub-projects.

Please note, any third party libraries currently checked into the Environment sub-project are going to be removed once Ivy is introduced.

All bugs introduced in 1.0 have been fixed. Additionally a few feature requests were completed too.

For further information, please see: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-1.1/svn-log.html

I have discovered in my zeal to release the Environment 1.0, there are some minor bugs. Most notable is in the documentation - some links are broken and navigation generation appears flaky too. I rushed to get the release out and did not take the time to look over what work was completed (meaning I didn't do QA at all).

I opened a number of bugs (which have now been completed and checked in). Additionally I am going to address a few feature requests this week. I should be able to release 1.1 shortly within two weeks but I hope to do so sometime this week.... read more

Documentation has been completed and the Environment can now be regarded as a 1.0 release. For further information, please see: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-1.0/svn-log.html

Environment 1.0 will be released soon. Final fixes and enhancements are being made as well as (drum roll please) documentation! The documentation will cover requirements, naming conventions, "how-to's," and explanations on how to best use the Environment. The reason for the ambiguous "release soon" statement is due to time constraints, and effort in creating the documentation. I am very, very, very busy at work - my time is terribly limited (I do what I can when I can).... read more

The engine project is renamed and demoted to a "retired" version.

This sub-project is officially retired and only active for download/illustrative purposes. A new version will be released sometime after the Parser sub-project is released (next on the to-do list).

Eventually this sub-project may be deactivated and not accessible.

Foundation 0.5 has been released. Please refer to the Subversion log for more information: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/foundation/jplate-foundation-0.5/svn/svn-log.html

Foundation 0.4 has been released. Please refer to the Subversion log for more information: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/foundation/jplate-foundation-0.4/svn/svn-log.html

Foundation 0.3 has been released. There has been many changes and fixes to Java documentation. Please refer to the Subversion log for more information: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/foundation/jplate-foundation-0.3/svn/svn-log.html

Foundation 0.2 released. For additional information, please see: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/foundation/jplate-foundation-0.2/svn/svn-log.html

Final changes before the 1.0 release. For additional information, please see: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-0.9.5/svn-log.html

Final changes before the 1.0 release. For additional information, please see: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-0.9/svn-log.html

Minor enhancements and -hopefully- final bug/feature-request fixes. Hopefully the next 2 releases will finalize the documentation. Please look at svn-log.html for further information: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-0.8/svn-log.html .

Environment 0.7 has been released. There was some feature request/bug work completed. The biggest news is that this release now supports locales - which means the Environment is more international friendly. Please look at svn-log.html for further information: http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-0.7/svn-log.html .

Various feature requests fixed. Please look at svn-log.html for further information - go to http://jplate.sourceforge.net/environment/jplate-environment-0.6/svn-log.html .

The Foundation sub-project has been released. This is an initial release that needs work but is functional.

Environment 0.5 has been released. This contains mostly cosmetic changes.

As I have broken JPlate up into smaller projects (the core being the environment), the next sub-project to be released shall be entitled foundation (this will contain a number foundational type functionality). The subproject entitled engine will disappear for a bit (until I can get to work on it) and then be re-released as a 0.1 release. I am now using Subversion heavily and want that to reflect releases.

This is a major overhaul to what was known as the build environment. This release changes the name to environment and includes much reusable Ant scripting functionality (and much, much more). There is very little "how-to" documentation - this will be done when time permits.

Version 0.3 of the build environment has been released. This release added functionality to perform source/test-source releases and version numbers. Basically, version 0.3 packaged up all the files included in this release :) Also, a lib dir is not needed to compile.

I have been very busy with a deadline at work and did not package and release the new build environment. The only change here is an ant2html.xsl transform is included. The transform was checked-in to svn - I just didn't do an "official" release.

I am starting to use logical subprojects. By logical, I really mean I am using subdirectories under the directory jplate. So, for instance, now the build environment is in its own sub directory entitiled buildenv.

So, from now on, all JPlate related code will be in subversion as:

jplate/<sub project name>/src
jplate/<sub project name>/src/ant
jplate/<sub project name>/src/java
...
jplate/<sub project name>/docs
...
etc... read more

Checked into subversion today is an XSLT for Ant to HTML transformation.

Please go to subversion: jplate/src/xsl/ant2html.xsl

Enjoy

The build environment is now checked into subversion.
