Description Magnus Ihse Bursie CLA 2001-11-29 07:32:03 EST 
The syntax of the scrapbook has changed a bit since VAJ. Unaware of this, I 
tried writing the following piece of code in a scrapbook windows:

boolean foo = true;
foo;

Then I selected it, and chose "Display", expecting to see "(boolean) true". 
Instead I got:

Syntax error on token ";", "Unexpected End Of File" expected

which of course gave me a good laugh. :-) However, it was not really as helpful 
in tracking down the syntax of the scrapbook as it could have been.

Even better, the scrapbook should allow this kind of syntax, and when the user 
selects "Display", it should print the result of the last expression, 
regardless of if it ends with a ";" or not.

We are relying on JCORE for the parsing/compliation, which is producing this 
error. Moving to JDT CORE.
Comment 2 Philipe Mulet CLA 2001-11-29 11:32:50 EST 
The syntax of a code snippet is a sequence of statements, optionally followed 
by one expression.

VAJ did accept a trailing semi-colon, which we don't. We can certainly silently 
ignore a trailing semi-colon, but this is not P1.
