BEF 1.4.0 July 2021 Windows Support
This is the 1.4.0 Release. The biggest feature of the 1.4.0 release is support for Windows!
BEF has always been supported on macOS and Linux. As of 1.4.0, support has been added to Windows. There was a lot of work clarifying and fixing all path related code in BEF to make this possible. Testing has been done, and we believe Windows support is at parity with macOS and Linux. The BEF Windows support page has important details and Windows specific setup instructions.
Other improvements and fixes in 1.4.0 includes:
- Global Search Classpath feature is now enabled by default #260
- Support for re-importing a Bazel workspace into an existing Eclipse workspace (it used to fail with errors) #242
- Package Explorer view now has full listing of files at the root of each project (was previously filtered) #180
- Added a Known Issues page for some common problems hit by users
The archive zip is attached to this post which can be used for installation. Or, we have an Eclipse update site for the release candidate here (easier option):
- Update site installation instructions: https://opensource.salesforce.com/bazel-eclipse/index.html
- BEF Update site URL: https://opensource.salesforce.com/bazel-eclipse/update-site
🔥 Note that this release is affected by #293. Your test classpath will be incorrect if you rely on the Bazel implicit classpath (described in #43).
