As you may know, jip is a dependency management tool for Jython/Java development. It resolves and downloads Java packages from maven-compatible repositories. jip also follows some best practices, encouraging you to use a portable and standalone environment (virtualenv) for your Jython development.

It has been four months since the initial release. In version 0.2, I made following changes for you:

  • Improved console output format
  • Correct scope dependency management inheritance
  • Snapshot management, alpha
  • Environment independent configuration
  • Bug fixes

You can find the typical usage doc on github: https://github.com/sunng87/jip

jip-0.2 has been published to pypi so you can install or upgrade it with:
easy_install -U jip

Please do remember to use it inside virtualenv!
