GenieWorks would like to announce SpotCheck 1.1.2. Finally, there is a java editor with a REAL difference. This is not just about color-coded syntax and code indentation… this is much more. Are you interested in setting up an inexpensive environment for Java development on the Mac? Check out SpotCheck, http://www.genieworks.com. It’s not an IDE… just a VERY smart editor with automatic integration with the MRJ tools. And now it only costs $20.

SpotCheck is designed to help a Java programmer produce correct code without relying on confusing and untimely feedback from a compiler.

Specifically, SpotCheck identifies syntax errors and semantic errors (undefined names, type mismatches, etc.) — those errors normally returned by a compiler. This analysis is performed after each edit, giving the programmer immediate feedback on errors. Now, you only need to compile to produce executable code.

What’s new in v1.1.2?

* interface for compiling with Symantec’s Visual Cafe
* Metrowerks’ CodeWarrior Pro 4 (IDE version 3.2) is supported
* added checks for Typecast expressions
* The checking code has been optimized significantly

As always:

* full support for the Java1.1.x language and APIs
