tIDE java IDE release notes
jan2021, version 3.00
- removed pack200 (has been deprecated and removed officially from jre)
if you still need it, (and use java8), just call it from command line path/to/pack200 your_app.jar.pack.gz your_app.jar
- remove jnlp launcher tools (also disapeared from jre)
- removed some exotic applet experiments
+ tide runs now very well with java8, java11 and java15, from adopt open jdk, oracle, eclipse j9, ...
(remainder: you can use the eclipse compiler instead of the platform javac, just download the ecj.jar)
- tide still don't support the new languages features in the editor, but you can nowadays still write and develop java8,9,10,...17 valid applications, just without all the editor support.
+ tide nicely works on the new mac M1 processors, as well as windows 10, and ubuntu.
+ modules support: tide just unpacks all the classes of all modules.frmo the jmod files (in /user/.tide_global).
this take some minutes on the first launch with a new project jdk. So all modules are always accessible at development time, classes and sources, for completion and help and stack traces debug. If you need module access enforcement, use the java and javac flags.
