FW: [Jython-users] console in a gui

[Carlos Q. <car...@rt...>]

I have done something similar I my plugin to integrate Jython into
jEdit. You can find it at=20

It is not exactly a frame but you have a field where you can type
methods which are passed to the interpreter and displayed on a
TextComponent.

Hi Enrico,

I've wondered about doing this myself, not yet sat down and coded it
though. The main work would be in low-level keystroke handling - collect
all input characters until [enter] is pressed, then send them to the
interpreter. Beyond that, it should be possible to pipe them down to the
existing InteractiveConsole code. I've poked about in the internals of
that, and successfully subclassed it so that it stores all the stuff
from an interactive session as a file which can then be replayed/edited
etc. It wasn't too hard - I'm happy to share the source if you think it
would help you.

Re piping, I don't think the current code has reconfigurable
input/output streams, but it's possible to redirect system.in & .out as
long as they aren't needed for another purpose. Might be nicer to alter
the interpreter to have configurable streams, but might be a bit of work
(don't know, maybe it wouldn't?)!

Would it be cleaner to implement the class as a keylistener rather than
a specific GUI frame e.g. JFrame. Not everybody uses Swing, might be
nice to have a listener we could plug in and out of any text component?
Again, just a thought.

If you do get down to coding this in earnest, give me a shout and I'll
see if I'm not too busy to lend a hand.

Regards,

Dave
