0.8.0
This release has only one major change: Osmorc now runs on IDEA 8.
Porting Osmorc to IDEA 8 wasn’t as much of a pain as I originally thought. So only 5 days after the 0.7.0 release here’s Osmorc for all those waiting to run it on IDEA 8.
A note to those using 0.7.0: There is one inconvenience in the 0.7.0 release that is fixed in 0.8.0. With 0.7.0 you have to rebuild your modules manually after a change before starting an Equinox run configuration. With 0.8.0 the rebuild of changed modules and with that the rebuild of the bundle JAR files is triggered by the run configuration.
Does Osmorc 0.8.0 also still run in IDEA 7? It usually takes awhile for my company to upgrade (considering the budget's fixed for the rest of the year, it won't be until sometime next year I'm sure.)
Hi Sam,
No, 0.8.0 is a port to IDEA 8. It is incompatible to IDEA 7. There were so many changes in the plugin API in IDEA 8 - as there always are with every new major release - that it is impossible to make a release of Osmorc that runs on IDEA 7 and 8.
But most likely we will release a bugfix release for 0.7.0 that will contain bugrfixes that are implemented in the upcoming 0.9.0 release of Osmorc, which is also for IDEA 8 only.
Don't expect any new features for IDEA 7, though. Unfortunately with only two developers we are too few to provide support for two IDEA versions at the same time. Because of that we made the switch to IDEA 8 really late.
