Hello all,
Turns out I have screwed up... I uploaded the feature jar to the Jupiter downloads page and not the plugin. Because of limitations of Google Code Hosting I am unable to replace this file with the correct one. I may be forced to increment the plugin number and rebuild it again just for that dumb reason.
Please download the Jupiter 3.4.0 plugin from: http://jupiter-eclipse-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/site/plugins/edu.hawaii.ics.csdl.jupiter_3.4.0.jar
Sorry for any problems that this has caused.

Jupiter 3.4.0 Now Available
Hello everyone!
I am happy to announce that Jupiter 3.4.0 is now up on the Jupiter Update Site. I will be uploading it to the Jupiter downloads area shortly.
To see all the bugs addressed in the 3.4.0 release go to: http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AMilestone-Release3.4.0
This release contains mostly small fixes and enhancements. The biggest enhancement is Jupiter forces a refresh on the files it uses so that they will show up as modified in Eclipse (this is helpful for those using source control plugins). I also tried to partially address the performance problems that appeared in Jupiter 3.3.1. I did a few things that should have improved the performance. However, there is still more than will be done but it is going to be a long process so I decided to push this release before I completely start ripping parts of the code base apart.
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.
The PDF user manual and the wiki user manual were updated a few weeks ago to include information for installing Jupiter on Eclipse 3.4. Jupiter now officially supports Eclipse 3.3.x and Eclipse 3.4.0.
I think that's it for now! Thank you for your feedback!

Jupiter PDF User Guide FYI
Just a little note even though my older post about the Jupiter PDF User Guide had a direct link to a file, it is now out of date.
Due to the way Google Code does their file downloads I am unable to update an existing file and must upload a new file with a unique file name. Also, once a file has been downloaded so many times I cannot ever remove the file from the project. This is the reason why the original PDF still exists even though there are much newer versions.
When downloading the user guide you should always go to http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/ and download the version listed under 'Featured Downloads'. My new convention is to append the date the User Guide was generated. So for example UserGuide-08012008.pdf is the user guide that was generated on August 1, 2008.
I will probably refrain from posting direct links to the PDF user guide from now on due to the fact that every time it gets regenerated there will always be a new file.

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.

Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede out June 25, 2008
With this release it is time for me to start planning for a new Jupiter release again. Please feel free to go to the Jupiter Users Group and sign up to report any problems with Ganymede or issues in general. I will not fix issues with the milestones and release candidates.
I'm always hoping to add new features but my time is limited. However, I still gladly accept suggestions for new features and improvements.
Thank you for using Jupiter!

Jupiter User Guide PDF Now Available
Hello everyone!
With the help of Jupiter user Purnank we now have a PDF version of the Jupiter User Guide. You can find it here: http://jupiter-eclipse-plugin.googlecode.com/files/UserGuide.pdf.
If you are having difficulty navigating the UserGuide.wiki page because it is long and has no table of contents the PDF is the way to go. The links are clickable and there is a clickable table of contents at the top! The wiki page is unable to have internal page links so there is no way to make a table of contents for the wiki page. The PDF is generated from the latest user guide wiki page that was written for the Jupiter 3.3.1 release.
That's all for now! Thanks again to Purnank for helping me with the generation script!

Jupiter 3.3.1 Now Available
Hello everyone!
I apologize profusely for the bugs that surfaced in Jupiter 3.3.0 and Jupiter 3.3.0.1. I have managed to remedy those bugs and Jupiter seems to be back on track. The bug fixes are included in the new Jupiter 3.3.1 release. The new release is already available on the Jupiter Update Site. I will upload it to the downloads area soon. If you are using Jupiter 3.3.0 or Jupiter 3.3.0.1 you should update to the latest version.
To see all the bugs addressed in the 3.3.1 release go to: http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/issues/list?can=1&q=label%3AMilestone-Release3.3.1
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.
With this release of Jupiter I have also redone the user's manual. The original UserGuide wiki page was very short and some users found that it didn't help them. I have since moved that UserGuide to a wiki page called QuickReference. The information there is good for users who have used Jupiter before and just need a short refresher. The new UserGuide wiki page follows the same outline as the QuickReference but includes much of the information that was provided in the guide hosted on the CSDL website (Jupiter's original home). It has screenshots and has a more step-by-step approach for new users.
User Guide: http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/wiki/UserGuide
Quick Reference: http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/wiki/QuickReference
One last thing, if anyone is still using the old update site at CSDL I encourage you to switch to the new update site at http://jupiter-eclipse-plugin.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/site/. You will need to manually remove the old version of Jupiter from the CSDL website. To do this refer to http://code.google.com/p/jupiter-eclipse-plugin/wiki/JupiterMigrationReference.
