           SMC - The State Machine Compiler v. 4.1.0


Requires:  Java 1.4.1 SE (Standard Edition) or better.
Download:  http://sourceforge.net/projects/smc
Home Page: http://smc.sourceforge.net


=================================================================
What's New?
=================================================================

+ Added a "%access" keyword which sets the generated context
  class' accessibility level. This level is used when generating
  Java and C# code and ignored for all other target languages.

=================================================================
Bug fixes
=================================================================

+ (Java) The previous release set the context class'
  accessibility level to package if the %package was specified.
  This was a mistake. The %access keyword now solves this
  problem.

=================================================================
What is SMC?
=================================================================

SMC takes a state machine description (stored in a .sm file) and
generates State pattern classes in a target language (C++, Java,
Tcl, VB.Net, C# and Python are currently supported). SMC is a
console-based app written in Java which means SMC can run
anywhere Java (1.4.1 or better) can run. The download package
includes an example directory showing how SMC can used with C++,
Java, Tcl (requires [incr Tcl] package), VB.Net, C# and Python.
The examples range from trivial to GUI apps.
