News

You can stay informed about new releases and other STJS-related announcements by following us on Google+

• planned
• jQuery 1.7 adapter
• add a command line for the generator to be able to use it without Maven
• import existing Javascript projects in Java (STJS compatible) or at least create the corresponding bridge - (not sure a simple solution exists :) )
• add support for Google Closure compiler (or build a similar tool based on Java obfuscation tools)
• add a plugin/bridge site to let people contribute more easier
• add bridge to HTML5 Javascript API
• add bridge to Javascript API for mobile phones
• 14-Feb-2013 - 1.3.1
  • Generator
  • add exceptions js basic implementation and fix issue #12
  • fixed issue #13 - parentheses around typeof
  • fixed issue #10 - use topological order iterator to sort dependencies
  • fixed issue #9 - instanceof is handled correctly
• 23-Jan-2013 - 1.3.0
  • JQuery/DOM bridge
  • added minified version of jquery and jquery ui;
  • added the sources of jquery ui (1.8.24)
  • issue #6 added originalEvent property to jQuery Event
  • Test Helper
  • Rewrite completely the test driver. Now it runs remote browsers as well as directly the browser in a regular or headless way.
  • the location of the config file can now be set via the stjs.test.config system property
  • @Test.expected is now supported (with some limitations)
  • issue #8: added handling of @Before and @After in test helper
  • added @ScriptsBefore and @ScriptsAfter to include scripts for unit tests and deprecate @Scripts
  • fix issue #5 - junit assertEquals for double doesn't take into account deltas
  • use the sources STJSBridge parameter in test helper;
  • Generator
  • Generate static initializers correctly, and make sure that their local variables don't bleed into the global scope - Support running the main method from @GlobalScope classes.
  • Global scope fields and methods are now handled correctly.
  • Do not attempt to generate abstract methods in JS
  • added stjs.trunc() around for integer casts and integer divisions
  • Properly name constructors of inner types and anonymous classes. This makes debugging in the browser easier because modern browser will use the constructor.name property as type name for all objects.
  • Fixed instantiation of Anonymous types
  • Do not allow javascript keywords in namespace declarations.
  • stjs.ns() statements were not generated when the annotation was placed on Enums.
  • Changed the approach on how to do a proper stjs.extend again. We now use an initializer function instead of two initializer object. The new way is more flexible, and looks cleaner too.
  • Discovered a problem when a static field is initialized with the value of another static field in the same class.
  • skip package-info.java when processing
  • fix namespace declaration with extends
  • finished to packaging of jar and war and added maven integration tests for that
  • fix bug: empty constructor does not call super constructor
  • added the copy-js plugin goal that copies the resources to the war file
  • added the possibility to pack files in one big file containing all project's js files (correctly ordered)
  • put the note you need at least java 6 in the documentation (as per issue #3)
  • no longer generate == for x.equals(y), but leave it as is. Added equals only for basic types: Number, String and Boolean.
  • Add the equals(Object) method to all stjs base classes that do not override it. This allows .equals() in Java to be translated to .equals() in JavaScript without causing trouble.
  • Rolled by the changes that generates "===" and "!==" as a translation for "==" and "!=". This is not backwards compatible, and causes all sorts of problems due to the fact that "undefined == null" and "undefined !== null" are both true.
• 18-Jul-2012 - 1.2.3
  • JQuery/DOM bridge
  • Document inherits from Node
  • Generator
  • Added @Template annotation for future support of custom Java -> Javascript method conversion. Only @Template("none") is supported for the moment that leaves the code as-is for special methods

  • fix equals method when using interfaces
  • fix maven plugin filter to include .java only
  • added static initializer
