Frame2 1.3.1 is now available. The full source package is not updated yet, but it should be in the next day or so. This is a pretty minor release – only two changes, but I think they’re important changes. Enums are now supported in Events. This relies on the Enum.valueOf() behavior, so the values passed [...]

Overly Ambitious Eclipse Decorators
I don’t think It’s just me, but maybe I am the only person who gets easily frustrated working on Eclipse plugins. I almost feel like I’ve missed a secret meeting sometimes that ties together all of the loose ends of plugin development. One particular problem I ran into lately was with adding a project decorator. [...]

There’s been a bug in the Frame2 Eclipse plugin from day 1 that I believe I have finally squashed. The reading and writing of the frame2-config file happened outside of the Eclipse API, and when the file was updated using a wizard the resource got out of sync with the workspace. It hasn’t really been [...]

Frame2 is almost ready to be released as a new version. I may still make some changes, but it’s definitely in Release Candidate stage now. There are only a few things that I may add before testing the heck out of it: Upgrade unit tests to JUnit 4. There are a lot of tests, especially [...]

I’ve mentioned before that I’m using FindBugs to help make sure that the Frame2 code is up to snuff. The Eclipse compiler can catch a lot of things, bug FindBugs has some neat tricks up its sleeve to find things that Eclipse can’t. FindBugs uses static analysis of the code to search for patterns that [...]

The last official release of Frame2 happened in January of 2006, and was Java 1.4 specific. I am currently making changes to the codebase to take advantage of all of the improvements that Java 5 and 6 brought. The process is roughly this: Configure Eclipse with the latest available JDK. Turn on all compiler warnings. [...]
