DrJava: Stable Update 20080904
DrJava is a lightweight programming environment for Java designed to foster test-driven software development. It includes an intelligent program editor, an interactions pane for evaluating program text, a source level debugger, and a unit testing tool. Available for download at http://drjava.org. This is a minor update to the recent stable release, fixing a bug in the execution of unit tests. Notes from the original stable release (20080828): Most prominently, a bug in JDK 1.6.0_04 has rendered previous stable versions of "drjava.exe" unusable when compiling with affected JDKs (a "Cannot read zip file entry" error will occur). This release addresses the issue. Major new features include i) an improved Interactions interpreter with full support for generics and ii) integrated support for external-process-based tools. Performance of "Find Next" and "Find All" has been dramatically improved, as well as the performance of auto-indenting. The project file format has been changed (as of release drjava-20080415-1537-r4441). Previous DrJava version will not recognize the new project file format. Users may also notice i) an optional platform-information survey at startup, and ii) automatic background checking for new DrJava versions. (Both of these can be turned off.)

One small hitch for FAA, one giant mess for fliers 
    (AP)
Wed, 27 Aug 2008 21:26:26 GMT

Passengers are reflected in a video display showing flights with rescheduled or delayed departure times shown in yellow at the American Airlines terminal at Los Angeles International Airport Tuesday, Aug. 26, 2008.  An FAA Web site that tracks airport status showed delays at some three dozen major airports across the country. The site advised passengers to 'check your departure airport to see if your flight may be affected.' (AP Photo/Reed Saxon)AP - When a computer system that distributes flight plans nationwide came rolling to a halt this week because of a software glitch, so did airplanes on tarmacs from Orlando to Chicago. The ensuing delays drove home just how easily an apparently isolated problem can trigger network-wide disarray in the country's aging air traffic control system.
