Jupiter 3.3.0 Archived Release Email

Jupiter 3.3.0 was released on March 8th. That was before I created this blog so I though it might be good if I reposted the notification email I wrote. I think it contains some important information about the move from CSDL's Jupiter page to the Google hosting page. Here it is:

I know it has been a very long time since the last Jupiter release. I'm happy to finally announce Jupiter 3.3 is now available. It is available via the Google Hosting update site and will be downloadable from the website shortly. With this release we have dropped support for Java 1.4. It is being developed against Java 5 and being tested with Java 5 and 6. We are officially testing Jupiter against Eclipse 3.3 (Europa) although it may work for Eclipse 3.2 also.

For those of you that don't already know, the Jupiter project has moved from http://csdl.ics.hawaii.edu/Tools/Jupiter/ to http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/. If you are still using the CSDL update site I encourage you to move over to the Google Hosting site. You should follow the directions at http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/wiki/JupiterMigrationReference to remove the old Jupiter plugin before downloading the version on the new Google site.

Google Hosting update site:
http://jupiter-eclipse-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/site/

Changes:
1) Jupiter now uses generics so support for Java 1.4 has been dropped.
2) Jupiter no longer supports Jupiter version 1 review files. Using
Jupiter 3.2.1 will convert these files into the newer format that is
compatible with Jupiter 2 and 3.
3) The "jumping" and selection of other issues when double-clicking on the Review Table has been fixed.

Issue closed for this release:

I have worked long and hard to push this release and I hope it works well for you all. Please feel free to report any new or existing bugs to me. I will try to remedy them in the next release. Thank you for using Jupiter!
