[Drjava-users] Interactions Pane Question...

[Brendan B. <bre...@gm...>]

Hey Folks,
I was playing with DrJava and I ran into a feature?/bug? which has me confused:

in the interactions pane:
Welcome to DrJava.  Working directory is /home/bburns
> int plus(int a, int b) { return a + b; }
> plus(1,2)
3
> int plus(int a, int b) { return a-b; }
> plus(1,2)
AmbiguousFunctionException: Both functions match:
(koala.dynamicjava.tree.MethodDeclaration:
....

In every other interpreter I've ever played around with, the second
definition of the plus function would overwrite the old definition.
So my question is:  what is going on? Is it intentional? Is there some
sort of weird namespace that I'm unaware of?

Thanks
