This code base is merely a continuation of the DrJava code base formerly hostedat Sourceforge. We decided to shift from Subversion to Git for two reasons:
- Git is more flexible (and complex) than Subversion.
- Second, and more importantly, Git appears to be the preferred repository andversion control system among software developers and our upper level studentsare more familiar with Git than Subversion.
This repository also includes the unreleased pedagogic IDEfor Scala called DrScala, which we will release as soon as we can persuade the Scala developersto fix a serious bug in the :require REPL command which we use to dynamicallyadd new paths to the REPL class path.
We will continue to distribute new releases of DrJava via Sourceforge topreserve our distribution interface. The move from Subversion on Sourceforgeto Git on Github only concerns DrJava developers and others interested in theDrJava code base.
