i-jetty Release 2.0

Release 2.0 of Jetty for Android (i-jetty) is now available in src and binary form from i-jetty downloads.

This release is the first to also be available (for free) on the Android Marketplace. To download from the Marketplace, you'll need to have an Android handset. You'll find i-jetty under the Applications category in the Communication subcategory.

If you're using the emulator from the SDK, then you should download the i-jetty-2.0-final-signed.apk bundle from i-jetty downloads.

In this release, we support Android sdk 1.1_r1 and jetty-6.1.16. We've moved to using a combination of json, javascript and xhr for rendering the Console webapp rather than generating html. We've also improved the contacts management part of the Console webapp, allowing you to upload an image for a contact, as well as edit all their phone numbers, addresses etc. A new feature in this release is the ability to view your images and video and listen to the music stored on your phone via your desktop browser. We'll be adding more functionality to the new media serving feature next release around.

Speaking of the next release, I'll be doing some testing of the newly available SDK 1.5 preview to establish whether or not it fixes some of the outstanding android issues that have been bugging i-jetty, like the Bundle resource problem and the dalvik cache problem which have prevented dynamically downloaded webapps from running on a real handset. I hope to have some info on these two issues in the next couple of days.
