Marc DeXeT commented on JELLY-192:
----------------------------------

The main difficulty is about jexl expression parsing.
If you create expression with a factory, you have just access to text or sub 
expression list (if it's a CompositeExpression).
So if you want to identify reference, you have to parsed back the expression 
text, as Expression doesn't let this kind of information to be known.

> Jelly script can be very hard to read if there several instructions.
> I think it would be interesting for users as developers to get a graphical 
> user-friendly viewer.
> Each jelly script is an XML well formed document, and each tag is associated 
> to library.
> They are designed to get parsed and associated to any alternativ 
> representation.
> It's just an idea now.
> But what about creating an functional representation of each tag :
> We have already library associated to namespace.
> Usually 'var' attribute value is an object reference.
> With instropection tools we can get setters and object type.
> So we have almost everything to establish control graph, reference usage and 
> type maps.
