---++ News

We are pleased to announce the first official release of java-front.

Java-front is a package that adds support for Java meta-programming to
StrategoXT. It contains a handcrafted SDF grammar for Java as it
appears in J2SE 5.0, Stratego signatures generated from this grammar,
and a handcrafted pretty printer that supports comment preserving
transformations.

The Java syntax definition and pretty-printer are very well
tested. Java-front is able to parse and pretty-print (round trip is
checked) all the Java sources in the GNU Classpath and Sun's JDK
runtime libraries.

We would like to thank the numerous users of java-front before it was
actually released. Their feedback has been very useful.
