[DrJava] Blast from the past

[Brian S. <bs...@bs...>]

By the way, if you were ever curious about the original (what I now call
"prototype") version of DrJava, I just randomly dug it up so I posted a
jar here: http://www.cs.rice.edu/~bstoler/alpha.jar

The interesting thing to note about this version is that the interactions
pane is implemented by wrapping the inputted statements/expressions in a
dummy class, and then sending this to the compiler! If you test it, you'll
see the performance impact this has -- interpreting "5" takes 3 seconds on
my machine, every time!

(I dug this version up to make a few comments about it in my thesis, if
you're wondering what prompted this.)
