Dozer

Release 5.5.1 is available for download and should appear in Maven Central shortly. Project has migrated to bintray for hosting binary releases and as an alternative repository location. Check release notes for the list of issues closed.

Release 5.4.0 is available for download. This is the first release after moving project to GitHub and already few new contributors have joined.

For discussions about new features post here Google Group. For technical questions use StackOverflow All issue tracking will be done here GitHub Old SourceForge Forums and Issue tracker will not be active anymore. They will be disabled once migration is finished.

After some inactivity period Dozer has finally moved to GitHub. Source code will be maintained there from now on. This transition is a huge step forward for the project as the barrier for contribution is significantly lower on GitHub compared to SourceForge. It is really easy to create a Pull request and merge it afterwards. Transition of the issue trackers and support forums will be performed as well. We are looking forward to accept contributions from developers in forms of patches and help on migration to GitHub. Write to buzdin at gmail if you are interested.

Release 5.4.0 is currently in development and will be released this summer.

Release 5.3.2 is available for download. This is maintenance release, which finalizes internal builder API implementation and delivers several bugfixes. Experimental annotations support for simple mappings has been added.

This release contains bug fixes and feature requests, along with internal refactoring. Some new features include indexed mapping within deep mapping, improved support of Map backed properties, and configuration of auto string trimming.

The most significant refactoring was around Map backed properties. The refactoring did not change the public Dozer API or the xml dtd, but if you are currently using the Map backed property features of Dozer please thoroughly regression test your system after upgrading to 4.0 to verify that any expected behavior remains unchanged for your specific use cases. We do have a good amount of unit tests around the Map backed property feature, but please let us know if you experience any issues after upgrading and we will do everything we can to resolve it soon as possible.

Thanks again to everyone that submitted bug and feature requests, along with everyone that contributed to the release.
