Jupiter 3.4.0 Progress Update

Hello everyone!
I know I've been MIA most of the time but I am working on Jupiter 3.4.0 which I hope to release at the end of this month.  I know Jupiter 3.3.1 seems to be suffering from some performance issues and I will be addressing those shortly.  I apologize for not testing it more thoroughly.

So far Jupiter 3.4.0 will only include one enhancement in addition to performance improvements.  Files in the .review folder and the .jupiter file will be automatically refreshed when they are modified by Jupiter.  Eclipse does not have refresh automatically on by default so this will help users using some type of version control plugin (i.e. Subclipse) to see that files were modified and that they should be committed.

I have had to defer the investigation of plugin contributions to a later release.  I'm sorry to say that this means the Jupiter menus will still only appear in the Java Editor and in the Text Editor.  I have someone that will look into this but at the moment he does not have the resources available.

I am still accepting bug reports for Jupiter 3.4.0.  So if you've got a bug to report please go to http://groups.google.com/group/jupiter-users/ and register to become a member and report your problem.

Thank you for using Jupiter!  I will send out another announcement when Jupiter 3.4.0 goes live on the update site.
