JJava 1.0-a5 was released

[stariy95]

Happy to announce the next release of JJava Jupyter Kernel. The biggest change in this release is that we finally got rid of Ivy for dependency management. The kernel is working directly with Maven. Ivy generally worked ok, but was barely supported making it really hard to deal with periodic issues like snapshot refreshing, transitive dependencies, etc. Now it is all pure Maven, so you'd no longer need to rm -rf ~/.ivy2/. Instead, you'd rm -rf ~/.m2/repository (just kidding 😀 Hopefully you won't need to do that either).

The rest is bug fixes and smaller improvements, such as better error message contrast in dark mode (think VSCode).
