| BeanShell Plugin |
By Slava Pestov
sp@gjt.org |
This plugin embeds a BeanShell interpreter in jEdit. BeanShell is a
scripting language with a syntax very similar to that of Java. Information
about the language is available at <http://www.beanshell.org>.
When jEdit is started, this plugin first loads the jedit.bsh file from the
BeanShell.jar file, which contains some utility functions and adds a few
commands to the Plugins menu. Then, it loads all
files with extension ".bsh" from $HOME/.jedit/beanshell.
Arbitriary BeanShell commands can also be invoked from the console, if the
Console plugin is installed; select "BeanShell" from the shell combo box
and type BeanShell statements into the command field.
Entire jEdit plugins, with menu items, EditBus message handling, etc can also
be written in BeanShell; see the example scripts in the goodies directory.
