[Freemind-developer] Script plugins in Freemind

[Peter T. <fm-...@to...>]

Hello freeminds :-)

I have now been playing around with large parts of the source code to
figure out how the flow is internal (but there are still parts I have
not been around.) The reason for doing so is that I would like to have a
full scripting engine embedded into Freemind.

I'm doing a lot of different things in Freemind and would like to add
features without having to recompile the entire source code (not that it
matter for me though!) Others might not have the insight in Freemind and
Java to add features, but hooking a scripting engine into might just
make the day.

Just did a quick scan and found the following external language
interpreters:

- Jython?: http://www.jython.org
- JRuby?: http://jruby.sourceforge.net/
- Rhino?: http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/
- Jacl?: http://jacl.sourceforge.net/
- BeanShell?: http://www.beanshell.org
- Skij? (Scheme): http://www.alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/Skij/

Do this idea sound complete out of bounds or is it worth pursuing?
Anyone having any experience with any of the above mentioned
Interpreters or done what I'm suggesting already?
