starting with 2005-06-05, brief infos about changes are recorded in here, ---rgf


-------------------------------------- 2005-06-07 ----------------------------------
- BSF-packages: fixed 'EngineUtils.java' bug in IBM's and Apache's BSF-package

- RexxAndJava.java: made error (exception) messages from invoked Java methods easier ledgible
           to non-Java programmers (no Java stack-trace, instead exception message only shown)

- BSF.CLS: renamed BSF.BOX() to BOX() and BSF.UNBOX() to UNBOX() to make coding easier


-------------------------------------- 2005-06-05 ----------------------------------
changes of 2005-06-05, 2005-06-06 version, --rgf

- BSF.CLS: renamed all BSF-pass-through class methods to start with "BSF."; this
           way it is always clear that the BSF4Rexx interfaces are addressed

           BSF-class methods: name changes
           -------------------------------

           createArray          --> bsf.createArray
           exit                 --> bsf.exit
           getStaticValue       --> bsf.getStaticValue
           getStaticValueStrict --> bsf.getStaticValueStrict
           import               --> bsf.import
           lookupBean           --> bsf.lookupBean
           pollEventText        --> bsf.pollEventText
           postEventText        --> bsf.postEventText
           setRexxNullString    --> bsf.setRexxNullString
           sleep                --> bsf.sleep
           wrapArray            --> bsf.wrapArray
           wrapEnumeration      --> bsf.wrapEnumeration


- BSF.CLS: BSF-class method "bsf.import": change in the order of arguments!
           ----------------------------------------------------------------

           Arguments got switched, "RexxName" argument is now optional:

              import(RexxName, JavaFullClassName)

           was changed to:

              bsf.import(JavaFullClassName [, RexxName])

           If "RexxName" is not given, then the Java class name is used as the ooRexx
           class name for storing it in .local; if "RexxName" is .nil, then no entry
           in .local will be created

- BSF.CLS: all imported Java classes can be instantiated with "newStrict()", which
           allows indicating the datatype in front of every argument, if necessary

- BSF.CLS: sending messages to the BSF Java class object proxy now behaves the same
           as sending ooRexx messages to BSF Java object proxies: the (static) methods
           are resolved and dispatched; hence no need to instantiate a Java class just
           to get at its static methods (or static fields for that matter)

- The "test" and "sample" Rexx programs have been updated accordingly.
