As a old Lisp user, I really missed my read-eval-print loop when I moved
to Java. Thanks for making BeanShell!
I read the BeanShell user guides on both the JDE and BeanShell sites,
but could not find the answers to the following small questions. So
if you don't mind:
(1) Does/can bsh automatically load an initialization file when it
starts up? (E.g., It would be convenient to include some standard
import statements and "show").
(2) If I redefine (and recompile) a class after it has been loaded
into bsh (e.g., to fix a bug discovered by playing with it in the
shell), does bsh automatically reload the latest version of the class
when I use it again (e.g., by checking creation dates)? If not, I
suppose I could do this myself using the ClassLoader, but it would be
a long statement. (I noticed the "load" command, but seems to be only
for serialized objects, not class files).
Thank you very much,
