I've just committed my version of Tobias' idea about including Java stack information in stack traces when relevant to the trunk. The associated work for SLIME has been committed to SLIME HEAD.
I don't like obscuring its swank backend by the attempt to make it backwards-compatible. ABCL is so young that I think you can expect people to upgrade their ABCL version if they upgrade Slime right now.
_Especially_ because the changes make working in Slime so much more pleasurable that people who want to use Slime should just upgrade to them.
Just barf with an error if an ABCL< 0.16 tries to compile swank-abcl.lisp.
Have I missed the release?
No release yet, the version on svn trunk announces itself as "abcl-0.16.0-dev". Maybe I should have put "upcoming 0.16 release".
When 0.16 comes out the door, and FreeBSD (and others?) updates its port, I'll remove the compatibility code. Right now we have to support at least abcl-0.15. Does that satisfy your concerns? I would like to keep SLIME HEAD working with ABCL HEAD, but maybe you wish to do this just with patches back and forth?
