First off, a big thank-you to George who suffered a complete hard disk
failure, lost everything, and had to recreate his whole environment to
create todays build.

I recall we saw something like this before, but it was only reproducable on
the IBM jdk - do you get the same behaviour under Sun?

Is this call introduced in 1.4 (or more precisely, does the api exist in
1.3)? We don't want to break spacewar for 1.3'ers either!

Hi,

Thanks Wes for pointing out the problems with the links. I incorporated
your improvements into a new 1.1rc2 build which is now available in the
org.aspectj/releases/aspectj-1.1rc2 folder on CVS. I also had a look
through some of the docs and found several more broken links in
README-11.html (wrong URL to bugs database), README-AspectJ.html (wrong
relative URLs to doc/index.html and examples), doc/index.html (wrong URLs
to bugs database and mailing lists) and doc/faq.html (wrong URL to the bugs
database plus stale links to Jikes and IBM SDK downloads). Seeing as I had
the opportunity, I also corrected these links in the new build. Apologies
for not consulting first - the opportunity presented itself so...

While the changes between yesterday's and today's builds are purely docs
tweaks, I am a deeply sad individual and still ran the new build through
the test suites. Everything (JUnit tests and harness tests) passed on Sun
131, Sun 141 and IBM 131. The test results have been updated accordingly in
CVS.

The new jar was successfully installed on my Linux box (Red Hat 8.0) and
all of the post-installation tests completed OK.

This new build was carried out on a 1.3.1 JDK and the CVS extract was done
at about 1:00pm BST today.

The new aspectj-1.1rc2.jar is also available for download at
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/aspectj-1.1rc2.jar

Finally, a couple of small observations. When installing on Linux the
splash screen got initialised as a very tiny panel that required re-sizing
before the install process could continue. Has anyone else seen this before
? The JVM was an IBM 131 and the desktop was Gnome. Also, as Wes pointed
out a few days back, Spacewar doesn't have the correct focus setup when
running on Sun 141 due to the changes made to AWT in that release. From
what I can tell, it's no big deal to sort this - the spacewar.SWFrame
constructor just needs an extra 141 method call added to it [ just after
the line "toFront();" add the line "display.requestFocusInWindow();" - this
works for me] which sounds straightforward to add before 1.1 final. Or else
we risk incurring the wrath of Spacewar fans everywhere !
