[Bluej-announce] New release: BlueJ 1.1

[MichaelKölling]

Dear BlueJ users,

We are happy to announce the release of BlueJ 1.1. The system is now
available for (free, as always) download from the BlueJ web site at

  http://bluej.monash.edu

BlueJ 1.1 is a major step forward. In fact, it includes the largest number
of changes that we have ever included in a single release. It was
extensively beta tested and seems to work very reliably.

Some new features include:

  o UML-style notation for the class diagram 
  o support for named and nested packages 
  o improved import of non-BlueJ packages 
  o terminal text can be saved or copied 
  o interactive calls can be automatically recorded in the
    text terminal (to document testing)
  o the editor font can be changed 
  o "export" function to create standard Java packages and 
    executable jar files 
  o projects have project comments (README note) 
  o javadoc support for single classes and whole projects 
  o cascading menus for large menus 
  o the debugger can now be used with swing applications 
  o classes can be renamed in the class source 

As always, feedback and discussion is very welcome. I would like to take
the opportunity to thank those users who have contributed valuable feedback
on the BlueJ discussion mailing list
(http://lists.bluej.org/mailman/listinfo/bluej-discuss) and helped to
improve the quality of the system.

Enjoy!

Michael
