It's been over a year since I started rewriting JSwat to run on the NetBeans Platform, and so far only an alpha release has been made. What is taking so long, you might ask. In general, much of the time has been spent in refactoring the code from top to bottom. The expression evaluator, breakpoints, session management, event handling, and so on, have changed significantly from the 2.x codeline. One of the more noticable changes has been the use of the services mechanism for looking up concrete implementations of the various principal objects. This allows a third party to replace functionality in JSwat without having to modify its code. In the next week or so, I intend to make another alpha release, which will include support for all of the breakpoint types. By the end of the summer, I expect to make a beta release, which will have nearly all of the functionality of the 3.0 release. In the meantime, I've got my work cut out for me. If you have the time and are interested in contributing, by all means, get in touch with me. Thanks n
