[DrJava] DynamicJava Environment question

[Doug B. <dou...@gm...>]

Hello drjava hackers,

Two questions:

We are using DynamicJava in our multi-language environment, called Calico
[1]. DynamicJava is great for our uses!

We'd like to inject some variable bindings into the environment. For
example, put a variable into the environment that is bound to a value that
hasn't been evaluated by the interpreter.

1) Is that a possibility with existing code? If not, it looks like putting
it in the private member _bindings of the Interpreter class might work
(requiring some new Java code and a re-compile).

2) How do you build DrJava these days from source? I'm using Ubuntu 13.10,
and don't see an easy method of getting JDK-5. Any pointers? ant complains
about not finding rt.jar.

Thanks!

-Doug
