2002-09-03 Going open source/Quick site update

Well, this site is in an horrible condition! But at least XML2Java now is open source and a registered sourceforge project. You can find the projects page here. The sotware now is BSD licenced. I updatd this pages licence and download page as well.

There you can, too, find a preview of Version 1.2. There are no big feaures added (yet), but some bugs fixed.

2002-02-26 XML2Java Version 1.1.2

Another bugfix release of XML2Java. In very certain constellations within the DTD the generated XMLHandler was useless. So here is Version 1.1.2, which fixes these problems.

Special thanks go to Wilfred Springer for marvelous bug reporting.

I also changed the parent link handling. I was bothered by the method name getParent(). It is much too common and widely used to define it in the generated classes. It clashes for example if you want to make the generated classes implement the javax.swing.tree.TreeNode interface. So I changed the name to simply parent(). I hided the setter method as well. The parent link will always be updated automatically. Nobody should access it from outside the (generated) package.

2002-02-03 XML2Java Version 1.1.1

Just a little update to XML2Java. No new features added. The main difference is, that I removed the interface XMLWriteable in the generated code. I hope nobody misses it...

The Getting Started page is not up-to-date. I hope I find the time to redo it soon.

2001-11-15 Diploma thesis final - XML2Java Version 1.1

With finishing my Diploma thesis, I gladly found the time to update my web pages again. The new Version 1.1 of XML2Java has a lot of new features and fixes. I think it really rocks now. If you still have unsatisfied wishes feel free to leave me a note.

So let's have a look at the most important changes:

	IDREF-Attributes are no longer represented as String. They are now associating the appropriate XMLElement.
	It is now possible to generate a bidirectional linkage within the XML document model's tree structure. All XMLContent and XMLElements are therefore equipped with a getParent() method.
	Tons of javadoc-comments are generated within the source code. So don't forget to build the documentation...

The Getting Started is not up-to-date. I will redo it soon.

2001-06-30 Time for an update of XML2Java - Version 1.0.4

So here is the next Version of XML2Java. There are no big features added; just major and minor bug fixes.

2001-05-25 First Web release of XML2Java - Version 1.0.3

It is time to publish my little private project. XML2Java is now online and ready for download. Of course it is free. Just use it. If you have any suggestions or comments I would appreciate some feedback. I hope you can get the same use out of it as I do.

These web pages look terrible within Netscape. I am sorry for that, but I did not have the muse to fix it all. That grin is not where it should be. I need some help on how to disable the cascading style sheet and switch to layers.
