• This software is released under GPL. See licence for details;



• This software was developed on Windows ME, Eclipse 2.0.1 and tested on Windows ME and Windows 2000 OSs, Eclipse 2.0.1.



• This software was developed under Java Version 1.4.0 but is compiled for Java Version 1.3.

• Bug 634876 is now fixed. Saving files now works with WSAD 5 and Eclipse on JRE 1.3. New icons have been attached.

• Bug 637036 is now fixed. Version 1.0.x should now run stable.

• There is a minor bug in version 1.0.1 regarding editing keys, which was fixed in version 1.0.2.

• Read-only files can not be edited any more (see bug 629696).



• The resource key of a property is not immutable any more (see comment on "eclipse-plugins.2y.net").



• The "white space" bug is fixed (see comment on "eclipse-plugins.2y.net").

• Update 19 November 2002: It was reported that this plug-in does not save any files under "IBM WebSphere^® Studio Application Developer" Version 5. I cannot guarantee whether this plug-in works under any version of "IBM WebSphere^® Studio Application Developer". See bug 634876 for further information.
  Update 09 February 2003:: Fixed in version 1.0.4.



• Shortcuts for "Cut", "Copy" and "Paste" (Ctrl+x, c and v) currently do not work for the "Comment:" and "Value:" textfields of the main editor (it does indeed work in the dialogs). Use Shift+Del and Shift+Insert or rightclick the textfields and use the popup menus for the time being.



• In this version file headers will be overwritten when saved. Future Versions will provide an additional textfield for the file header on top of the editor.



• In this version only unique keys for properties are allowed. Future Versions will allow multiple properties (which are commented out) with identical keys.



• No Undo and Redo (Ctrl+z, Ctrl+y) function currently implemented for the "Comment:" and "Value:" textfields of the main editor (it does indeed work in the dialogs).



• I found no way to make "ColumnWeightData" work, so I used "ColumnPixelData" to lay out table columns. For the time being you will have to resize the table columns yourself after a property file is opened.
