Detailed Description

Author:

Matthew Palmer

This class is the top level interface to the BSF It has a console and does some standard things like reading from the streams For various reasons, specific languages may want a modified version of this class, they should sub-class it.

It would use the GUIConsole interface from bsh except the interface doesn't have half the methods of JConsole! So we just use JConsole directly for now. This is less likely to need sub-classing, but you never know!

Most of what this class does is sit in a loop trying to read from the console input stream. It also provides some useful functions that it processes rather than passing them to the underlying scripting engine

Invoked when we need to complete a name. Do some minimal filtering and pass it onto the NameCompleter objects. Implements Console.NameCompletionListener.

boolean scripting.DefaultInterpreter.printObject (  Object    val )  [protected]

Should be overridden to return false when executing a line that returns void. Note, should always return false if the return value is null Reimplemented in scripting.BeanShellInterpreter, and scripting.JavaScriptInterpreter.
