We are pleased to announce the Maven JBuilder Plugin 1.3 release! 

http://maven.apache.org/maven-1.x/plugins/jbuilder/


===============================================================================

Changes in this version include:

  New Features:

o Fix MAVEN-668. 
o The plugin attempts to find JBuilder's "HOME" directory where it will read 
  the user's default project properties file. The JBuilder "HOME" directory 
  is also where library files are generated. Thanks to David Zeleznik. 
o When you generate a JBuilder project file, the plugin iterates through its 
  dependencies. For each dependency, a library definition file is generated 
  for the dependency jar in the local repo. This dependent library file is 
  generated if, and only if, the library file does not already exist or the 
  library file was previously generated the same way (as a dependency on a 
  jar in the local repo). Thanks to David Zeleznik. 
o The previous point means that when you generate a jbuilder library 
  definition file directly from a Maven project (using the 
  jbuilder:generate-library goal) you will replace any previous definition of 
  the library that was generated as a jar-only dependency with a library 
  definition that references both the source and class files. Thanks to David 
  Zeleznik. 
o For library definitions that remain jar-only references to the local repo, 
  you can specify a path to the corresponding source code via properties. 
  Thanks to David Zeleznik. 
o Support has been added for generating JBuilder application and applet 
  runtime configurations from properties. Thanks to David Zeleznik. 
o Any resources are added to the JBuilder project source path. Thanks to 
  David Zeleznik. 
o Using an optional property, you can specify a list of explicit files that 
  will be included in the JBuilder project if they exist. The default list 
  are project.xml, project.properties, and maven.xml. Thanks to David 
  Zeleznik. 
o Added support for JBuilder 9 Thanks to David Zeleznik. 
o Added maven.jbuilder.verbose property Thanks to David Zeleznik. 
o Library files that are automatically generated from versioned (not 
  snapshot) artifact dependencies are now versioned themselves. This is also 
  true for snapshot dependencies where an unversioned library file has not 
  been created yet from the corresponding artifact. As before, if an 
  unversioned library file has already been created for a snapshot 
  dependency, the unversioned library will be referenced. Thanks to David 
  Zeleznik. 

  Fixed bugs:

o Fix MAVEN-781. Thanks to David Zeleznik.
