Philip Mayer and gang just announced a beta version of the Preclipse Eclipse plugin for Prevayler:
For the past weeks we've been working on Preclipse, an Eclipse plugin supporting the development of Prevayler-based applications in Eclipse. It comes with Code Generation, Snapshot/Transaction Viewer, an analysis tool and some other stuff.
We've just released a beta, which contains all of the functionality we were planning on (which can, however, be extended
) and is (hopefully) stable.
Feel free to try it, the website is http://www.preclipse.de/, use the update site or download from sourceforge. You'll need Eclipse 3.0 M7.
We've put up a lengthy tutorial on how to use Preclipse on the site.
Again, mad props to Philip Mayer, Andreas Meißner, Tim Lüecke and Sascha Tönnies! You rock!
Prevayler was awarded a "Productivity Award" at the 14th Annual Jolt Awards Ceremony by Software Development Magazine, in the "Libraries, Frameworks and Components" category.

Thanks to all the Prevayler users, supporters and contributors!
It's finally here!
Prevayler 2.1.0 alpha has been released. There are a number of changes. Here is the full list of closed issues:
For more information about downloading Prevayler, check the Download page.
Enjoy, and please report any issues you find to Bug Tracking.
Note that the fact that this release is 2.01.xxx rather than 2.00.xxx signifies that this release is not binary-compatible with previous releases. As such, existing transaction logs and snapshots will error out upon attempted deserialization. As long as Prevayler is in alpha stage, there is no guarantee that this won't happen again (eg, move the version to 2.02.xxx). However, this should not be an issue once Prevayler moves out of alpha stage.
Prevayler made it to the finals with 5 other contenders in the same category. See links in previous post.
Prevayler has been recently nominated for the 2004 Jolt Awards.
