DrJava is a lightweight programming environment for Java designed to
foster test-driven software development. It includes an intelligent
program editor, an interactions pane for evaluating program text, a
source level debugger, and a unit testing tool with integrated code
coverage.

In addition to bug fixes, this beta release includes an important
new feature not present in prior releases:

DrJava now includes an OpenJDK 8 compiler which should work if DrJava
is run with any Java 8 JRE/JDK.  Previous versions of DrJava included
an Eclipse batch compiler which appeared when DrJava was run using a
JRE.  In some configurations, it did not appear at all.

On Windows and Mac computes, we recommend using the Amazon Coretto
distribution of Java OpenJDK 8.  On Linux, the standard OpenJDK 8
compiler available from various Linux repositories should work.

Note: compatibility with Java versions prior to Java 8 has been
dropped.  Newer versions of Java (9, 10, 11, 12) are not supported
because they use an incompatible format for Java distributions.  We
may release a version of DrJava in the future that supports the new
Java distribution format.
