Version 1.2.0 Released

A new version of EclipseME has been released. In this version, you will find lots of bug fixes and a few new features. Kevin spent quite a bit of time fixing up the Motorola toolkit support in this release. Unfortunately, the Motorola toolkits have a few problems, but at this point EclipseME is doing as much as is possible for these toolkits. This version also offers the first release of the new built-in preverifier support. Although this support should be considered alpha quality at this point, with the help of EclipseME users this support will mature quickly.

Refer to the installation instructions at http://eclipseme.org/docs/installation.html. EclipseME may be installed and updated via the EclipseME Update site as well as via an Eclipse site archive file downloadable from Sourceforge. Point Eclipse at http://eclipseme.org/updates/ to install via the update site. If you encounter issues with EclipseME, please visit http://eclipseme.org/docs/support.html for more information on support options.

IMPORTANT: Beginning with Version 1.1.0, EclipseME supports only Eclipse 3.1. Support for Eclipse 3.0 is no longer included. Users of Eclipse 3.0 must use Version 1.0.0.

This new version includes the following changes:

Changes

• As part of the improvements that were made in this release to the support
  of the Motorola Wireless Toolkits, it was necessary to make an internal change
  to the way that Motorola toolkits and platforms
  were registered with EclipseME. As a result, immediately
  following an update to EclipseME 1.2.0, any projects that previously referenced
  a Motorola WTK will show up as “Unknown platform.” All that is necessary to
  correct this is to select the proper platform again.

Enhancements

• Introduction of a new, pure Java internal preverifier. This new preverifier
  provides much better feedback on preverification errors than do the external
  preverifiers in the Wireless Toolkits. (They typically indicate that an error
  was found, but don’t detail what was wrong or where.)

  
  WARNING: The new preverifier is still in an experimental state, and may not
  work under all circumstances. The internal preverifier should not
  yet be used for production deployments.
  
  Having said that, the developers of EclipseME would greatly appreciate feedback
  from the user community on this new feature.

• If version autoincrementing is enabled, individual components of the version
  number will be “rolled over” when they exceed 99, and the next component up
  incremented. This helps correct issues on a number of phones which do not
  accept version numbers which contain components that are three digits in length
  (i.e. 1.0.143). (RFE 1289080)
• Add support for 2.2.3 version of SonyEricsson toolkit (RFE 1320256)

Bug Fixes

• Recognize operating system for Windows 2003 (Bug 1311102)
• Fix debugging problems on older toolkits (Bug 1307091)
• Improved detection of proper preverifier parameters (Bug 1304821, Bug 1298786)
• Fixed NullPointerException in project preferences (Bug 1304820)
• Improved Motorola WTK support (Bug 1212585). This work is not completely finished,
  as some of the emulators that work in earlier versions of the Motorola WTK do not
  work in later versions. This appears to be a Motorola issue, however.
• Change to allow Antenna export for WTK 2.3 (although Antenna may not like WTK 2.3) - (Bug 1288730)
• Fix the rules for what is allowed in user-defined JAD properties (Bug 1228034)
• Fix Javadoc handling under Eclipse 3.1 (Bug 1234243)
• Add source 1.3 compatibility to Antenna build file for Java 5 (Bug 1252585)
