• J2objcConfig.filenameCollisionCheck is now named forceFilenameCollisionCheck,
  and defaults true only when using --no-package-directories #470

Code quality:

• A small number of common open-source Java libraries are being built end-to-end with the J2ObjC Gradle plugin

Use it (see README for details):

plugins {
    id 'java'
    id 'com.github.j2objccontrib.j2objcgradle' version '0.4.2-alpha'
}

v0.4.1-alpha : IGNORE

This should be ignored. The plugin was mistakenly published as a copy of v0.4.0 without the subsequent changes. Please use v0.4.2 instead.

Functionality:

• Resources copied for unit tests and Xcode build
• Xcode debug and release targets now load distinct generated libraries
• j2objcConfig syntax standardized for translateClasspaths and translateSourcepaths
• Helpful error message upon failure with full command line, stdout and sterr

Code Quality:

• @CompileStatic for plugin build type checking
• Expanded unit test coverage now comprises 81 tests
• Numerous bug fixes

v0.3.0-alpha : Multiple projects and Native Compile

• Args groovy style syntax for config closure
• Multiple projects with dependencies
• Incremental compile using Gradle's native clang compiler
• Fix Plugins {...} syntax
• Added unit test framework

v0.2.2-alpha : Initial Plugin Working Version

• Requires buildscript syntax as a workaround to the plugins {} syntax not working
• Lots of fixes and improvements through the system

Upgrading in-place from v0.1.0-alpha is not supported: please read README.md and J2objcPluginExtension.groovy for instructions on using and configuring the new version.

v0.1.0-alpha : Initial Working Version

There will be significant reworking of this before a beta and 1.0 release
