It’s in quasi limbo, as I’ve been more busy with Web work than desktop apps, but I am planning some updates to JotBot and will revisit the the code and related libraries (such as Neurogami::Swingset). I’m pretty sure Logan Barnett is still active with Monkeybars.

That sounds better
I was wondering how active Monkeybars development is lately, do you still actively develop/maintain your fork?

Yeah, the hard-coding of the version string is annoying; it has to be updated each time the monkeybars lib version changes.

In Jimpanzee, my fork of Monkeybars, I’ve been using this in manifest.rb

def jimpanzee_jar path
Dir.glob(path).select { |f| f =~ /(jimpanzee-)(.+).jar$/}.first
end

#…
here = File.expand_path File.dirname(__FILE__)
add_to_classpath jimpanzee_jar( here + ‘/../lib/java/*.jar’ )

so it should find the Jimpanzee jar regardless of version number.
