XDoclet 1.2.3 - the release that never was...
posted Monday, 9 May 2005
I spy over on the XDoclet development list that XDoclet 1.2.3 has silently escaped to the sourceforge downloads page. Finally I shout to myself as I jump for joy - finally the long awaited release that supports JDK 5.0 generics and annotations..... NOT!
After downloading the tarball and replacing my old xdoclet 1.2.2 jars with the new 1.2.3 versions, a quick code change to return List and blamo - xjavadoc ( still at 1.1 ) exploads on me. Replacing xjavadoc with the JDK5 "patched" xjavadoc-1.1-j5-v3.jar build from the Xdoclet bug tracker allowed the generified code to be processed, but the generated EJB Home interfaces loose their generic mappings :(
It's a shame as I was looking forward to this new XDoclet giving us the final piece thats stopping our migration to JDK5.

That's why 1.2.3 was a point release - b/c we didn't do a whole lot more
than fix bugs. We hope to add the JDK 5 support as part of 1.3.
