ANN: JinSitu 0.2 - Interactive introspection environment for Java and Jython

[Michael Krause]

JinSitu - Interactive introspection environment for Java and Jython.

The application includes a JScrapbook for evaluating jython code and a
component for exploring an object tree. As you navigate through java classes
and methods the corresponding javadoc is displayed.

Evaluate your jython code using three different ways:
CTRL+Return : Evaluate current line (inserts newline, like Interpreter)
SHIFT+Return : Evaluate current selection
CTRL+SHIFT+Return : Evaluate complete buffer

Press 'F5' to update the object tree display.

Embed JinSitu in your application like follows (adapt to your needs):

#-------------------------
my_locals = { 'p': p, 'graph': graph }
# doc_url = "file:///D:/Programme/jdk1.3.1_01/docs/api/" # windows path
# doc_url = "file:///home/mkrause/j/jdk1.3.1_01/docs/api/" # unix path
# doc_url = "http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/" # http
doc_url = { # multiple doc paths using class prefixes
'default' : "file:///D:/Programme/jdk1.3.1_01/docs/api/",
'javax.mail' : "file:///C:/j2sdkee1.3.1/doc/api/"
}
from jinsitu.JinSitu import JinSituApp
js = JinSituApp(locals=my_locals, doc_url=doc_url)
js.show_in_frame(size=(1260, 950), exitOnClose=1)
#-------------------------

This example is from the included Graph.py which is the example in Demo\awt
from the jython distribution enhanced with JinSitu.

NOTES
- the values of non-public java fields cannot be displayed, maybe we
can work around this using an access flags mangling classloader later.

- a bigger jython example instead of Graph.py is needed to demonstrate
the JinSitu features.
