Happy New Year - version 3.1.0 is released with tons of little changes. :-) Check more on the Google project page.

We also decided to pull down Webnode page (this one) and use only Google+ page for news as it is much easier for us and project page solves the most of our problems anyway. Domain javasimon.org will be redirected soon.

Two weeks ago (October 11th, 2011) we released next major version of our beloved Java Simon. It was a lot of work (mostly with Maven, honestly :-)) but the result is well worth it. While most of the API is unchanged and migration should be smooth if you don't rely on JDK 5, you should be informed about the most important changes:

• Java Simon 3.0 is pure JDK 6 and requires Java 6 at least. After so many years, I hope it is understandable.
• JMX 1.4 stays and is merged to core, JDBC 3 is gone, JDBC 4 is here to stay.
• There are many fixes as well.

We thank all those who contributed with their feedback or issues. Current Javadoc and download are available on our project page - as is wiki documenting dependencies for Maven users. Enjoy!

With a slight delay after the actual release it's time to add the News on this site too. :-) Version 2.5 is minor update with some interface additions requested by users and a few fixes along the way. Check our project site for more.

After a longer delay, we have some more minor changes and fixes:

• Error in String ALLOWED_CHARS fixed
• Use SimonUtils.presentNanoTime in jmx StopwatchMXBean (added methods)
• Make "register" protected in JmxRegisterCallback
• experimental JDBC4 driver was added to existing JDBC proxy driver (was for JDBC v3)

Nothing big, but at least some of us are still alive!

Check downloads on the project page for update and 2.4 Javadoc.

Based on your requirements we extended Java Simon in the following way:

• JMX Register Callback is not final anymore
• You can now add your own custom "attributes" to Simons (like in Servlet request for example)
• Plus a few bugfixes NPE, wrong class returned and one more NPE :-)

In addition to this very small package "javaee" was added. Currently it has configurable Servlet filter (check class SimonFilter) and very simple EJBInterceptor (here any ideas how to make it more configurable is welcome!).

Download links and current API is up for you (check project page), Maven repository should be up to date as well. Thank you for your support and for using Java Simon.

Few days ago we've uploaded new Java Simon version 2.2. It's not a big one, but there were two additions into interface - first thing is Wrapping JDBC Datasource and the second is the method returning current running-for time for a Split in human readable form. The rest - along with download links - can be found on our project page.

Bugfix release 2.1.1 appeared on our project page, of course we recommend to use this version from now on. Otherwise nothing big is going on now. If anything is released anytime soon it will probably be Web module with web/servlet filter and some simple web console. If you have anything to contribute in this matter (or any other - EJB3 interceptor for instance), do not hesitate to contact us. :-)

This is a minor update of version 2 based on some user's input:

• added methods reset and two versions of sampleAndReset to SimonMXBean;
• you can now use [, ], and _ in Simon names;
• timestamps for 0 are formated as undef in toString methods.

Check downloads on the right side of the project page, we also updated Javadoc for a few JMX classes - see JavaDoc for v2.1.

Thank you for your support, downloads, feedback and feature request/bug reports. ;-)

After few more fixes, some simplifications (ever used StatProcessor? it's gone!), more Javadocs and some Wiki updates (with some more ahead) we have finally released version 2 of Java Simon library. You can choose the big package with precompiled JARs, Javadocs (here online) and working Ant build - or if you're Maven user, you can go for smaller sources-only ZIP with Maven build (Maven 2.1 is required). Check the project page for more.

Enjoy - and tell us what you think!

Yup, we're slower than we anticipated - especially because we really wanted to wrap it up faster for our own sake as well. This time the whole source structure is Maven 2 compliant and you should be able to compile the project and install all Java Simon artifacts into your repository. We still have to finish deployment to online repository and besides that there are some documentation tasks pending as well.

Long story short - we recommend you to use fresh downloads of Version 2, beta 2. You can choose the big package with precompiled JARs, JavaDocs (here online) and working Ant build - or if you're Maven user, you can go for smaller sources-only ZIP with Maven build. BTW: Maven 2.1 is required.
