New Version Creation about jsyntaxpane HOT 6 CLOSED

I agree about changing the version number scheme.  I actually did not think this
project will be popular at all!  So, it is best to stick with the standard 
dotted
formats.  

However i think we have reached a pretty stable, and almost feature complete 
stage,
to what i initially envisioned for the project.  So it is very close to the 1.0
stage.  The other Enhancement issues should wait for a 1.5 or a 2.0 release.

Therefore I think we can use a 1.0.0 or a 0.9.0.  

When that is done, we also need to add a binary download that includes the 
tester. 
What I generally do NOT like about many software is that it takes some effort 
to just
see what it can do.  I like to see something before even attempting to compile, 
and
the tester binary jar download does exactly that.

I hope to get back on this in about a week time when I finally get a PC and 
some free
time.  

Many thanks for taking the time to work on this.

Well, it is one of the best pieces of OpenSource software to come out! I have 
been
waiting for such a component for such a long time :-) (yes, more than 4 years 
now,
since I wrote my first text editor).

> Therefore I think we can use a 1.0.0 or a 0.9.0.

Then I will tag the current code line as 0.9.0 (yeah, I am a bit conservative 
type)

Probably for 1.0.0 we can have extensions architecture where people can write 
their
own JFlex parsers for their own syntax types and register it with JSyntaxPane.

Brilliant idea. Never striked me. In fact I provide dynamic changing of Syntax
highlighting in RESTClient--I can possibly add a class for doing this in the 
main
line itself. It is a very tiny class infact, and adding a separate Jar for it 
might
not be needed (but you take the final call).

Eager to see you back in action :-)

Glad the wait is over :-) case closed?

Not yet! When we make a new release, it will be closed.

Release 0.9.0 binary added as binary.
