JNIPort 0.50 uploaded to Cincom public repository

Joachim Geidel
JNIPort 0.50 is now available in the Cincom Public Repository.

What's new:
-----------
Starting a Java VM has been optimized. The new version does not create a
dynamic wrapper class if a Java class already has a predefined wrapper
class. This brings down the startup process to 0.3 seconds on my laptop.

Creating dynamic wrapper classes accounted for most of the time during
startup when the JVM was configured to use ghost classes (i.e.
dynamically created wrapper classes). JNIPort did this because calling
Java methods used to be relatively slow with predefined wrapper classes,
which is no longer the case. Accessing field members has also been
optimized for predefined wrapper classes.

The documentation and additional files needed for JNIPort are now
included with the JNIPort bundle. Before loading the bundle, make sure
that you have selected "Download without prompting" or "Prompt when
downloading" on the Store/Files Downloading page of the VisualWorks
Settings. The contents of the files is described in the JNIPort bundle
comment.

Chris Uppal's web site is currently unavailable, which is why I have
included the files.

Enjoy!
