Jupiter 3.5.0 Now Available

Hello all,
I have just uploaded the newest build of Jupiter to both the update site and the downloads section of the Jupiter homepage.  This release works with Eclipse 3.3.x Europa, Eclipse 3.4.x Ganymede, and Eclipse 3.5 Galileo. Please note that the older versions will not work with Eclipse 3.5.

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

The only notable thing I think is that the "Add Review Issue..." option should appear in more of the editors allowing Jupiter to work with more file types.  This will not fix it for all editors but hopefully will allow most of them to work with Jupiter.  So far I know that it does not work properly with Eclipse's XML Editor.

If you find any problems please use the Jupiter User's Groups (http://groups.google.com/group/jupiter-users).

NOTE: For those of you using Ganymede or Galileo, if Jupiter pops up the box asking you to update and you click "Update Now" the update box that appears may not update Jupiter correctly (it pops up the old Eclipse 3.2 and 3.3 style update box).  I don't know why.  Sometimes it says that it is updating it but after restarting Eclipse it is still reporting the old version.  If you use either version your best bet is to go to Help --> Software Update... (Ganymede) or Help --> Install New Software... (Galileo) and use those methods of updating.  I have written an issue for this problem but I may choose to just remove the update check since newer versions of Eclipse have introduced their own ways of checking for plugin updates.

Last but not least, I have updated the user guide to include Eclipse 3.5.  This can be downloaded from Jupiter's homepage.

Jupiter 3.4.2 Is NOT Compatible With Eclipse 3.5

Hello all,
I'm not sure if anyone has tried Eclipse 3.5 with Jupiter 3.4.2 but I am in the process of testing for the Jupiter 3.5.0 release and I am getting an error. It is a very bad error as you can't add any review issues that are associated with lines in a file. I am working on this and hope to have Jupiter 3.5.0 out sometime this weekend.
