Hm, this I do not understand.

BSH has java-incompatible syntax.   A IDE that is expecting java will
produce errors when given bsh code that doesn't conform to java.
For example a method with no class.  Or using the {} notation to access a
Hash or bsh iterators, typeless variables, closers and anything else in bsh
which isnt java. 






========================
Cool feature! But it seem that this does not work, when the bsh-.script is
in a class

Runnable r =(Runnable)interpreter.getInterface(Runnable.class);
r.run();

=============
It "works" exactly how its supposed to work, just not how  *you* want it to
work.
See above notes about how bsh is not java.

======================================


In the moment I help me out be removing "... class ... {" and the last "}"
from the script before I load it into the interpreter. Not that elegant ;)

Thank you!


P.S. Is bsh still under development?
================================================

bsh is what it is.  If you believe that is 'Not that elegant' that's an
opinion.
But realize that bsh was specifically designed to be a scripting language,
not java.
Thus its syntax is intentionally simplier.   It has a feature of allowing
some subset of java syntax,
but thats not the full intent.
Its not that you have to remove "class { ... }" to get something to "work"
but rather what bsh requires for the language and API it supplies is not
java, it doesn't need the "class" ... 
That is 'elegant' or 'inelegant' depending on your opinion or expectations.


You can have both worlds by exposing a global method that calls your class
method.
This is a very common thing.   Keep 'pure java' code in a seperate file (in
fact it can be compiled into your app),
then expose the *bare minimum* as bsh code.

eg.

foo.java
===========
class Foo {
	void bar() { do somethign ; }
};

===========

foo.bsh
============

bar() {
    new Foo().bar();
}
=================


now you can call "bar" directly from BSHMethod.invoke

And no, the original bsh is no longer in development, but 'beanshell2' was
forked and is in development by another set of authors.
