I'm not going to announce every single development build :)
but this is a fairly significant one, for two reasons:
1. This is the first AJDT 1.2.0 build that works on Eclipse 3.1M2.
Given that 3.1M3 is on its way, it might also be the last! Our policy is
that we will try to support only the latest milestone build. In
some cases it might work on earlier milestones, but that's not the case
this time - 3.1M1 won't work. Our primary focus is on the latest stable
Eclipse (currently 3.0.1) but of course we welcome feedback and bugs
against the latest milestone builds too (as soon as we can support them).
If you're interested in the implementation of this, we have to produce two
builds to support the different Eclipse versions, but we still have a
single codebase, where the source code is about 99% common, with two
versions of the remaining 1%, which are then selected using AJDT build
configurations. Our build process creates the two builds, then runs the
automated test suite with each build in the appropriate environment.
2. Improved error handling. We were pretty poor at this, with
many exceptions being caught and not written to the Eclipse log (they were
either ignored or sent to standard out/err where they would normally be
lost). We now have an aspect (what else!) to handle this, with a policy to
enforce its use. So now if something bad happens you're more likely to
have something useful in your .log file which you can put into a bug
report.
To get hold of this development build, see the updated AJDT download page:

Make sure you get the right one for your Eclipse version!
Regards,
Matt.
