<sighs> Not sure what's happening. I had downloaded the latest JWU, discovered my JRE wasn't current for it, dwnld'd JRE 1.6, restarted and JWU stlll wouldn't launch. Trashed my JWU and now cannot seem to find the dwnld. Read thru here and thought I would check out Google code page but it says I am denied access.

Go into the Java folder in your utilities folder, launch the preferences app, and drag Java 6SE to the top of the list of Java versions listed there.
Yes, there is an RSS, but there isn't a link on the addon page to subscribe.
No clue with what you browse, but firefox3 notices the (routes for example)
[html]<link rel="alternate" title="Latest Routes Files - WowAce.com" href="/projects/routes/files.rss" type="application/rss+xml" />[/html]
and offers me a RSS symbol in the urlbar with which i can subscribe to the feed.

I'm using Opera, but I'm using Google Reader too ;)
Does anyone have the source? I tried grabbing it from svn, and it's gone from their as well. I'm interested in maintaining jwu, but if need be, I'll rewrite from scratch.

Code from SVN wasn't current anyway. Probably have to do a rewrite. I thought about doing one in Why's Shoes framework (http://www.shoooes.net/) but came to the conclusion that you'd end up doing the same thing as Wowmatrix (unless you talk to WowInterface, Curse people and any others and get their okay to scrape their site).
If either of those two places agree (or open their API / web services with ads or something to offset the bandwidth costs) I'd consider starting back up work on an updater.
I still use jWowUpdater.
I noticed it doesn't "Update Addons" anymore, but it will "Reinstall Addons" just fine.
Doing the reinstall grabs whatever the latest version is and downloads it.
So, instead of updating......I just reinstall. =)
What you're doing is using a fuckton of bandwidth (depending on the number of addons you have) for no good reason. If you have 150 addons, and five have been updated in the past week, you're still downloading 150 addons. If enough people start doing this, we'll probably start seeing every addon distribution site go to registration-only and/or capcha downloads.
This is the same problem WAU had - munching bandwidth and costing insane amounts of money - except for the fact that it was restricted to files.wowace.com.
... If you have 150 addons, and five have been updated in the past week, you're still downloading 150 addons. ...
Since I have all of my addons in my favorites, I can quickly see which ones have been updated since the last time I updated.
(and yes, if there is only 1 updated I simply grab it manually ;) )
If the source code can be found, would it be possible to add a 'selective reinstall'?
It appears the reinstall works just fine (grabbing the newest copy) but the "compare last download date with latest version available date" feature doesn't appear to work anymore. So being able to select which addons I wish to 'reinstall' would allow only downloading the ones I want without slamming the server with unneeded downloads.

Is there any chance that you release the source? Would be very nice. I think there are coders out there which still have the energy :-)
The source for this has always been available. The link is on the very first post of this forum topic.

Curse Premiumcould perhaps simplify the parsing for wowace addons
That would have been very helpful, but they changed the layout of how files are looked up based on their name :) They keep making things difficult.

This. I usually try to refrain from posting "QFT" replies, but here it's simply true. Thanks for that great piece of software!

Thanks.
Looks like Rolf pulled it from his site and from the googlecode repository when he stopped supporting it.
