JNIWrapper 2.5 Beta for Windows and JExplorer Beta 3
====================================================

http://www.jniwrapper.com

Today we introduce the prerelease of new JNIWrapper 2.5 and a new Beta
version of JExplorer - Beta 3.

New JNIWrapper is the Beta release that covers many important issues
resolved after version 2.4.1 and adds some new features to the
library.

JExplorer Beta 3 released to deliver the general changes we made since
Beta 2 to users who provided their feedback. The JExplorer API was
significantly refactored and greatly simplified since last release.

Check the What's New page to see the detailed list of changes in both
products (http://www.jniwrapper.com/whatsnew.jsp).

method of DWebBrowserEvents2Server class.
  - Handling incorrect parameters for DispParams.invoke().
  - codegen.bat should handle JAVA_HOME absence.
  - CodeGen: Do not trace generation events for predefied resources
such as IDispatch. IUnknown etc.
  - CodeGen: Do not print that a some <TypeLibrary>.java file is
saved.
  - CodeGen: Generate the ISomethingImpl in Java stabs instead of
ISomething.
  - Fixed the problem in the IDispatchServer class.
  - Jikes compilator fails on JNIWrapper library.
  - Allow creating non-public class factories via PrivilegedAction.
  - Object inserted into OleContainer is not freed correctly.
