JavaLoader version 0.0.2

Changes

• No longer force JavaLoaderProjects to implement onLoad() and onUnload().
• Support backslash file separator on non-Windows OSs.
• Fix single project detection when loading a new project from the file system.
• Fix command uninjection from Bukkit when a JavaLoader project unloads. Running an uninjected command would throw a stacktrace.
• Use proper OS-dependent classpath separator. Fixes dependencies not being included on non-Windows OSs during JavaLoader project compilation.
• Change BukkitCommand creation to chain-setters and deprecate old BukkitCommand constructor.
• Send /javaloader <load/unload> exceptions to the commandsender instead of console.
• Refactor JavaLoader core classes to the new core package. This breaks JavaLoader standalone projects (Fix is to import jl.core.JavaLoaderProject instead of jl.JavaLoaderProject).
• Change the /javaloader unload/load/recompile [project] commands to /javaloader unload/load/recompile <project, *> to prevent accidental bulk unload/load/recompile operations.
• Rename JavaProject.isEnabled() and JavaLoaderProject.isEnabled() to isLoaded().
• Add clean() method to JavaProject that can be used to clean all binaries of the project.
• Add isDisabled() and setDisabled(Boolean) methods to JavaProject to allow for disabling a project. Disabled projects cannot be loaded and loaded projects cannot be disabled (without unloading them first). Works through creating a .disabled file in the root of a JavaLoader project.
• Fix missing dependency in JavaLoader standalone mode.
• Fix classloading of project dependency classes.

JavaLoader version 0.0.1

This is the first release of JavaLoader. At this point, it is at least possible to:

• Load, unload and recompile java projects in runtime.
• Depend (include/provided) on jar files and other JavaLoader projects.
• Get your project main class through the JavaLoader Bukkit plugin.
• Run non-Bukkit projects from the standalone version (through commandline).

It is likely that more project settings will be added in the future and that the current way to provide dependencies will change with later releases, so make sure to keep an eye on the release notes when updating.
