<h1 id="introduction"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">1</span> Introduction</a></h1>
<p>This new version has many improvements that - not only - make it faster again, but also expand the functionality to offer a more complete experience.</p>
<p>We’ve focused on bug fixes with an increased attention to details and also added some new functionality.</p>
<h1 id="important-notes"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">2</span> Important Notes</a></h1>
<ul>
<li><p>We’re deprecating running from <code>*.bnd</code> files, which is why we’re no longer showing the <em><strong>Run Requirement/Resolve</strong></em> panel on the Run tab. Users are <strong>strongly advised</strong> to migrate their run settings into <code>*.bndrun</code> files. Expect the Run tab to be removed completely for <code>*.bnd</code> files in a future release.</p></li>
<li><p>Existing workspaces should update their <code>cnf/buildrepo/biz.aQute.launcher</code> to version 1.0.6 to fix issues with paths containing whitespace. Download it <a href="https://bndtools.ci.cloudbees.com/job/bnd.master/75/artifact/dist/bundles/biz.aQute.launcher/biz.aQute.launcher-1.0.6.jar">here</a>, or generate a new <code>cnf</code> project by removing the existing one.</p></li>
</ul>
<h1 id="program-arguments"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">3</span> Program Arguments</a></h1>
<p>You can now specify program (command line) arguments on the Run tab.</p>
<p>This enables running and debugging your application in Eclipse as if you were running it from the command line.</p>
<p>For more details, see <a href="https://github.com/bndtools/bndtools/wiki/Program-Arguments">the wiki page explaining its usage</a>.</p>
<h1 id="version-control-ignore-files"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">4</span> Version Control Ignore Files</a></h1>
<p>Bndtools will now (by default) generate <code>.gitignore</code> files when you create new Bndtools projects so that you don’t commit derived files.</p>
<p>This can be switched of in the Bndtools preferences panel.</p>
<p>This feature is still under active development and expected to gain support for other version control systems than Git.</p>
<h1 id="jar-viewer-improvements"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">5</span> JAR Viewer Improvements</a></h1>
<p>The JAR viewer now by default opens the <code>META-INF/MANIFEST.MF</code> file when opening a JAR file.</p>
<p>It will also remember the selected file so that when the JAR is updated, the same file is still shown after the JAR is reloaded.</p>
<h1 id="paths-containing-whitespace"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">6</span> Paths Containing Whitespace</a></h1>
<p>Bndtools now (finally) fully supports paths containing whitespace.</p>
<p>This was a long standing bug that affected launching from Bndtools. See also the <a href="#important-notes">Important Notes</a> above.</p>
<h1 id="stricter-compilation"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">7</span> Stricter Compilation</a></h1>
<p>A compiler error is now generated on incorrect usage of the <code>@Reference</code> annotation.</p>
<p>An example: You have a setter (e.g. set/add) for a dynamic dependency, but no unsetter (e.g. unset/remove).</p>
<h1 id="speed-improvements"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">8</span> Speed Improvements</a></h1>
<p>We again improved the build speed by being even smarter about dependencies than in the 2.0.0 release, and as a result the build is again faster than before.</p>
<h1 id="miscellaneous"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">9</span> Miscellaneous</a></h1>
<p>Of course there are many more gems in the changes. A full list of changes can be found on our <a href="https://github.com/bndtools/bndtools/wiki/Changes-in-2.1.0">wiki</a></p>
<h1 id="installation"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">10</span> Installation</a></h1>
<p>You can install Bndtools into Eclipse through the marketplace or use our Eclipse update site, see the <a href="http://bndtools.org/installation.html">installation instructions</a> for further instructions.</p>
<p>For those of you that want to live on the (bleeding) edge, our latest stable build lives <a href="https://bndtools.ci.cloudbees.com/job/bndtools.master/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/bndtools.build/generated/p2">here</a>.</p>
<p>As usual, please report any issues you find on our <a href="https://github.com/bndtools/bndtools/issues">Github bug tracker</a>.</p>
<h1 id="older-releases"><a href="#TOC"><span class="header-section-number">11</span> Older Releases</a></h1>
