In the report editor, when you select the Code tab, the Palette displays the 
BIRT and JavaScript objects you can use for scripting. Instead of displaying 
these objects in the Palette, BIRT should open a code editor that is similar to 
the Expression Builder.

It is strange to use the Palette for two different purposes.

We are thinking to integrate an existing JS code editor such as WTP's js editor in future release.

The suggestion is to have a pop up script editor like expression builder. I think this approach could help address the "hard to find scripts" issue.  We can have the pop up dialog to show all the scrips for the report in a navigator on the left.  And click on that navigator will bring user to the script that they can edit.  This seems consistent with the HTML text editor, expression builder. Both is a pop up.  It also addresses the focus issue and property synch issue when switching from layout to script.  It is indeed a mismatch that the same editor sometime edits the entire report, sometime only edit the script for one report item/element.  Can we consider this for 2.1?
