When I first strated ot use Taverna i was under the impression that the 
BeanShell editor was just the same as any other java based editor.
But, in 1.7 it's not. There is no testing functionality, debug console, 
text highlighting, auto-completion of braces, *line numbers*, method 
look-up.... etc. I think it is these points that people want - i.e. the 
stuff a  full text editor would give you.

regards,
Paul.
