Jupiter 3.4.1 Now Available

Hello everyone,
Jupiter 3.4.1 is now live on the update site and also available in the downloads section.  This is strictly a bug fix release and there are no new features.  The main goal of this release was to improve Jupiter's IO and reduce the lag that surfaced in the last few versions.

To see the issues that were closed for this release go to:

I have made sure to upload the CORRECT jar file to the downloads section.  Thank you to the Jupiter user that pointed this out to me.  I'm very sorry to those of you that I inconvenienced.

As always, I am accepting bug reports and feature requests.  Please sign up for the Jupiter Users Group (http://groups.google.com/group/jupiter-users), if you haven't already done so, and create a new discussion or reply to an existing one.

There was one thing that I really hoped to have in this version.  That was the ability to add review issues to any file using different editors.  This unfortunately, did not happen.  I did get a snippet from a user that allowed review issues to be added to any file which worked fairly well.  However, even though that worked the review markers didn't.  The purple markers did not show up in any editor other than the Java, text, and Ant editors.  Upon double-clicking on a review issue for a file that opened in any other editor (i.e. the XML editor) the file would open but it would not jump to the line number and no review markers were visible.  Rather than have the problem only half fixed I decided it would be best if I didn't include it at all.

I will have to find someone that knows more about the plugin.xml and Eclipse in general to solve that issue.  I know the feature is in high demand and I would like to at least know if it is possible or not.  If any of you think you can be of assistance please contact me and I'll be more than happy to try out your suggestions.  I believe you can obtain my direct email address through the Jupiter homepage.

That is all for now.  Thank you for using Jupiter!
