What's new in DrJava 20160913-225446 Beta
Sep 19, 2016
- Includes an intelligent program editor, an interactions pane for evaluating program text, a source level debugger, a unit testing tool, and a new code coverage tool.
- In addition to bug fixes, this beta release includes two new features introduced since the last stable release:
- The new Toolbar button labeled "Coverage" runs all of your unit tests (just like the "Test" button) and determines the code coverage (branches and statements) of these unit tests using Jacoco code coverage tool. It generates and displays pages with links reporting the code coverage of your unit tests.
- In the "Edit preferences" menu, the Fonts pane includes two new options: "MenuBar Font" and "ToolBar Font". The MenuBar Font option also controls the font in tab labels in the Tabbed Pane (including "Interactions" and
- "Find/Replace" among other tabs) below the Definitions window.

- Drag-and-drop for Java files. Files from Windows Explorer, MacOS Finder, and Nautilus on Linux (other file browsers not tested) can be dragged and dropped into DrJava.
- Connecting to a running DrJava instance to open files in an that instance. Can be used to integrate DrJava with external tools.
- 'Show Javadoc for Class' does not require internet access to build the list of class names anymore.
- 'Automatic import' dialog to the Interactions Pane. If an undefined class is encountered, the dialog will display all standard Java API classes and most user classes and let the user select one or an entire package. DrJava will then import that class or package and re-execute the erroneous line.
