embedded console for JPython ?

[Andrew Fellows]

I'm trying to figure out the best way to get an interactive JPython
console into an java app currently under development. The idea would be
to use this as a way to dig into the app and test and tweak it.

Problem is that I'm not sure about the best way to go. After reading
through the archives and demos I figure the best way is to create an
Invoker class that invokes a JPython interpreter within a JFrame using
it's own thread, and on another thread, invoke the app. This way I see
the one java virtual machine and can get at the app easily via the
interpreter but it means I must write the interactive console bit,
something I had assumed was already out there.

I tried having the command line interpreter invoking the app but could
only do  this by invoking two instances of the jvm, not the desired
result.

So I am not only not sure about the best way to go but doubly so because
there doesn't seem to be much discussion about this, have I missed
something ?

Any pointers, sites, references and/or mind blitzing ideas are welcome.

Thanks
