It is a fair amount of work for us to upgrade to a new drop of jelly-nb.jar. We run exhaustive tests on a large number of platforms before releasing the new jar for production use. It would be helpful if new drops summarized detailed change information like jemmy provides on the jemmy download page. Workaround is to wade thru cvs change logs, but often these comments are developer oriented and don't fully explain changes from a jar customer perspective. In particular sometimes cvs logs do not explain that changes are really fixing problems running on newer releases of the product. Most helpful would be information indicating that new jelly-nb.jar is required to run on Netbeans releases newer than some date.
I can't see any detailed change information on the jemmy download page (http://jemmy.netbeans.org/servlets/ProjectDownloadList). What page do you think of? Instead of using jellytools download page I would suggest to inform users by an email on users@jellytools.netbeans.org as I did today. I hope included information about changed is detailed enough. The same info is entered as commit message of org/netbeans/jellytools/version_info. And finally because it is jelly2-nb.jar for development version of NetBeans, it is always built against the latest NB sources. It means it is always recommended to try your tests on the latest NB build. I hope it is acceptable for you, so changing resolution to fixed.
