All,

WE4Java version 0.9.2 Beta is now available for download from RapidShare at the link below:

 

http://rapidshare.com/files/172786743/WE4Java_0.9.2_setup.exe

 

This release provides the ability to use the java installer to automatically scan for a running java process and look up the runtime location being used for that application. You will be prompted to ask if you want to install WE4Java in the runtime directory for the running application. 

 

Also in this release, updates are made to allow reading of single and multi-line text boxes using the arrow keys. 

 

New in this release is a copy of the Java Notepad demo program which comes with the java development kit. Note that executing this demo program assumes that a default java runtime is installed. The launch script simply states

 

Java -jar Notepad.jar 

 

When the notepad starts, the focus is on the tool bar with the new, open, save, etc. Buttons. You can use the Open button to display a file chooser dialog and select a file for reading. 

 

NOTE: Since menu bar access isn't available just yet, When you are done with the notepad demo, just press alt+f4 to close it. 

 

The change log entries for this release are given below: 

 

Beta Release 0.9.2 - Friday, 12/12/2008

 

This release contains the following updates:

 

  * Updated the Java Installer to allow automatically searching for a

    java install directory based on a running java application. To run

    the java installer in Scan Mode, start a java application and then 

    launch the Java Installer from the WE4Java program group. The installer 

    will scan all running processes looking for either java.exe or javaw.exe. 

    If found, the installer will look up the directory of the running java application 

    and ask if you want to install WE4Java in that directory. This 

    ability is helpful when you have a java based application that you don't 

    know the location of the java runtime it is using. 

  * The Java Installer has been updated to record the directories where you

    have installed WE4Java. An ini file is updated to reflect both the date/time 

    of the install and the version of WE4Java installed. Later versions 

    of the java installer utility will use this ini file to let you view and/or update 

    your WE4Java installations. 

  * Default for using the automatic text helper dialog is now set to only

    be used for read-only multi-line edit boxes. Normal edit boxes will be

    handled from inside the java screen. 

  * The WE4Java.ini file is now checked for the setting for the text helper 

    dialog feature. Values can be 0 (no helper dialog), 1 (helper on read-only 

    text only), or 2 (helper on all multi-line text boxes). 

  * Reading of text boxes has been updated to allow the arrow keys to be

    used to review the text. Using the up or down arrows in a multi-line 

    text box will read the data a line at a time. Using the left or right arrows 

    will read the data 1 character at a time and will use the Window-Eyes 

    keyboard voice settings so as to allow control over reading punctuation.

  * A copy of the Java Notepad demo application is now included. this demo

    assumes that a default java runtime is installed. 

  * The check/install of Microsoft .net 2.0 is now set as an optional 

    check box at the end of the install. 

    

NOTE: The combo box under the java control panel Update tab is still not

      reading selection changes properly. Also, the checked or unchecked state 

      of the tree items in the java control panel Advanced tab are not 

      reading correctly due to the use of a custom class by Sun.
