*License

This page contains the downloadables for the JSwat project. All of the software falls under the GNU General Public License, except where otherwise noted. Please see the license for information on your rights and the warranty of this software.

*Supported Platforms

JSwat requires the Java Platform Debugger Architecture, and the JPDA package requires native libraries that have been ported to the Win32 JDK, Solaris SPARC JDK, and Linux JDK. The JPDA, and hence JSwat, requires the Java 2 platform.

*JSwat Releases

Newer releases will have new features and bug fixes but may have new bugs not yet found and corrected. If you find there is a problem with a new release, try an older one instead. JSwat has forked into two lines of code. One is referred to as the "1.x series" while the other is the "2.x series". The 1.x series will run on JDK 1.2 and 1.3. The 2.x series requires JDK 1.4 at a minimum, and will be the focus of on-going development. The 1.x series will receive only bug fixes and the occassional back-port of a feature from the 2.x series; it is being maintained for compatibility with the older JDKs.

2.x Series (for JDK 1.4 and later)

What are these .tar.gz files?

Files ending with .tar are Tape ARchive files. They are like Zip files but they are not compressed. Files ending with .gz are compressed using the Gzip program, much like Zip except that it only compresses a single file. The combination of tar and gzip makes for something just like Zip. The resulting file size is significantly smaller than that produced by Zip.

The tar and gzip utilities are generally available on most Unix systems. Windows users will want to use WinZip, or find the Windows ports of the tar and gunzip utilities.

What are CVS tags?

You can checkout older versions of the JSwat source code using the CVS tags shown in the files list above. Using CVS is described elsewhere. The tag names are generally of the form "jswat-<version>" where the version is two or three numbers separated by underscores (e.g. "jswat-1_0" or "jswat-1_5_5"). The tags were called "release-<version>" prior to version 1.5. See the What's Old page for the complete revision history. CVS tags do not exist for releases prior to version 0.9.7.

*Alternate Formats

DEB Packages

Marcus Crafter is generously providing Debian packages of JSwat releases. These packages are available in the official Debian archives, as well as at the following site: http://people.debian.org/~crafterm/jswat/

RPM Packages

Henri Gomez has been kind enough to package JSwat in RPM format, for those of you using a Linux distribution with RPM tools. You can find these files at the following location: ftp://ftp.falsehope.com/home/gomez/jswat/

jEdit Plugin

David Taylor has written a jEdit plugin that allows running JSwat inside the jEdit program window. Visit David's plugin page to download the latest version. However, the author warns that the plugin is not 100% completed yet. The plugin requires JSwat 1.4.0 or later.
