Developing the library

History

This project is a copy of the java.net project of the same name "mdiutilities.dev.java.net". I own the two projects, and I ported the java.net project infrastructure to sourceforge because java.net hosting infrastructure has closed (April 2017).

Note that two versions has significant evolutions which could break existing code:

• 0.9.52 changed the target to Java 8
• 1.0 changed the package for some Swing classes to make the library more Java module friendly
