Apache Buildr is a build system for Java-based applications, including support for Scala, Groovy and a growing number of JVM languages and tools. We wanted something that's simple and intuitive to use, so we only need to tell it what to do, and it takes care of the rest. But also something we can easily extend for those one-off tasks, with a language that's a joy to use.

New in Buildr 1.3.5:

• Added: Interactive shell (REPL) support
• Added: BeanShell as default shell for java projects, bsh is small and it's syntax provides the closest to an interpreted java. The BeanShell console includes a graphical class browser. Shell is named :bsh
• Added: Mandriva (urpmi) installation support (with help from Franck Villaume).
• Added: BUILDR-56 Download Scala artifacts if not available locally
• Added: BUILDR-163 cobertura:check (Marko Sibakov, Daniel Spiewak).
• Added: BUILDR-295 Eclipse task: make 'M2_REPO' repository variable configurable
• Added: BUILDR-300 Make Eclipse task more configurable (Antoine Toulme, Alex Boisvert)
  
• Change: Upgraded to rubyforge-1.0.5 and net-ssh 2.0.15
• Change: Monkey-Patched FileUtils::sh on JRuby to use POSIX `system`
• Change: Updated to Rake 0.8.7, RSpec 1.2.8 and JRuby-openssl 0.5.2.
• Change: Updated to easyb 0.9 (Joel Muzzerall)
• Change: Updated to TestNG 5.10
• Change: Updated to JRuby 1.3.1
  
• Fixed: BUILDR-23 Support for setting file mode when packaging (Ittay Dror).
• Fixed: BUILDR-278 tasks/*.rake files are loaded after the buildfile (Rhett Sutphin)
• Fixed: BUILDR-282 release goal should not strip leading '0' digits from version numbers.
• Fixed: BUILDR-289 Improved error message when JAVA_HOME points to an invalid JRE/JDK installation
• Fixed: BUILDR-290 Dependencies cannot be downloaded over SSL.
• Fixed: BUILDR-291 Local tasks do not support arguments (Ittay Dror).

• Fixed: BUILDR-307 Failures are not reported correctly for ScalaTest (Jeremie Lenfant-Engelmann)
• Fixed: BUILDR-313 Prevent release with uncommitted_files on Git 1.4.3+ (Alexis Midon)
• Fixed: BUILDR-315 Fix Eclipse .classpath for local libraries (Mat Schaffer)
• Fixed: BUILDR-304 Referencing an existing package task using the package method fails if the package has a custom filename (Rhett Sutphin)
• Fixed: BUILDR-322 When specifying files (instead of directories) as sources for compile task, Buildr uses target directory timestamp only (not compiled output timestamp)
• Fixed: BUILDR-324: Regression - baseDir system property is not set when executing tests [Alexis Midon]
• Fixed: BUILDR-325: Overriding package spec with classifer doesn't work (Antoine Toulme)

The Apache Jakarta BSF team announces the release of BSF 3.0.

 Apache Jakarta BSF 3 is an open-source implementation of JSR-223, "Scripting for the Java Platform".

 [BSF3 was developed according to the JSR-223 specs, but has not yet been tested using the JSR-223 TCK.]

 See http://jakarta.apache.org/bsf/

 This is a bug-fix release to correct a problem that was  discovered with 3.0-beta3:
 * BSF-35 Wrong parameter type for [Simple]Bindings.put - key must be a String, not an Object

 The release also includes an updated test application.
 This version of BSF requires Java 1.4 or later.

 The release can be downloaded from:
 http://jakarta.apache.org/site/downloads/downloads_bsf.cgi

 When downloading, please verify signatures using the KEYS file.
 All users running earlier versions of 3.0 are recommended to upgrade.

 Note that BSF 3.0 is not compatible with BSF 2.4, which uses a different API.

 Enjoy!
