• ❑ What I need in JES
  • ❑ Load, edit, save .PY files
    • ❑ Color coding of keywords preferred
    • ❑ When code is compiled (imported), may want to pre-process file (e.g., add an import statement)
      • ❑ Pre-processing could be specified in an external file
  • ❑ Interactive work with Jython
  • ❑ When errors occur, give reasonable error messages
    • ❑ Would be nice to have an external file so that I can edit the error messages
    • ❑ If errors are within their code, would be nice to highlight the line where the error occurs
    • ❑ Upon errors, show all the variables in the current namespace
  • ❑ Provide a code to show variables for debugging
    • ❑ May be an exernal, imported module
  • ❑ Must be readable, editable code
    • ❑ I'll be enhancing it later
    • ❑ Do it in Jython with Swing
  • ❑ Need a Help menu
    • ❑ I'd like it to be based on a Help folder containing HTML files, so that I can add help topics as needed
  • ❑ Need File menu
    • ❑ Open, close, save, save as, print (if possible)
  • ❑ Need an Edit menu
    • ❑ Copy, cut, paste
    • ❑ UNDO -- shouldn't be too hard. For text only.
• ❑ What I'll want to add later
  • ❑ Encode and turn-in files from JES
  • ❑ Log user events with timestamps and include that in turn-in
  • ❑ Multiple sizes of text to make use in lecture easier
