JCommon is a free general purpose Java class library that is used in

ELIMINATING THEIR DEPENDENCY ON JCOMMON. AFTER THIS HAPPENS, JCOMMON WILL
MOST LIKELY BE "RETIRED".

3. TEST CASES
---------------
Some test cases have been developed using the JUnit testing
framework. These are included with the source code, in the following
packages:
org.jfree.junit
org.jfree.date.junit
org.jfree.io.junit
org.jfree.text.junit
org.jfree.ui.junit
org.jfree.util.junit
If you want to recompile these packages, you will need the junit.jar
file that is included in the 'lib' subdirectory.

The current JCommon tests have been written using JUnit 3.8.

robust in cases where the jars were distributed over several
classloaders.
1.0.11: (19-Oct-2007) BugFix in the KeyedComboBoxModel causing
NullPointerExceptions on MacOS-X; Make sure that all resource-streams
that get opened also get safely closed in case of errors.
1.0.10: (21-May-2007) BugFix in the PackageSorter, Window positioning is now
multi-screen aware.
1.0.9 : (23-Mar-2007) Serialization fix in TextFragment.

and the FastStack.
1.0.7 : (03-Dec-2006) Cosmetic fixes for the logging of the PackageManager,
ObjectTable implementation allows faster cloning of its contents,
minor improvements to the GUI classes.
1.0.6 : (26-Sep-2006) BugFixes in the TextLayoutUtilities, SpreadSheetDate and
ResourceBundleSupport classes.
1.0.5 : (29-Jun-2006) BugFixes in the boot code (synchronization added) and
WaitingImageObserver (possible deadlock fixed). ObjectUtilities
did not handle all cases where a ClassLoader could be null.
1.0.4 : (30-Apr-2006) Date- and NumberCellRenderer did not handle null-values
properly.
1.0.3 : (17-Apr-2006) More improvements in the boot process for dependent
library hierarchies.
1.0.1 : (10-Feb-2006) This release adds new boot capabilities and fixes
some bugs in the XML classes. This version is required for
JFreeReport and it is fully backward compatible with the 1.0.x
branch.
1.0.0 : (14-Nov-2005) This is the official 1.0.0 release. All future
releases in the 1.0.x series will maintain backward compatibility
with the 1.0.0 API.
1.0.0-rc1 : (01-Jun-2005) : Update to coincide with JFreeReport 0.8.5-5.
JavaDoc update and classloader handling changed.
1.0.0-pre3 : (15-Apr-2005) : Some minor changes in the ResourceBundleSupport
to allow the explicit definition of a locale.
1.0.0-pre2 : (04-Mar-2005) : Update to coincide with JFreeReport 0.8.5.
Separated the xml-support packages into an own jar file.
JFreeChart does not use these classes (except in experimental
non-release code). Therefore, JFreeChart needs both libs to
build, but only the jcommon.jar library to run.

CHANGELOG.txt file.
