[dash-dev] Groovy Monkey Plugin

["James E. Ervin" <jervin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello recently I have had the time and opportunity to dig into the 
Eclipse Monkey plugin.  I really like the simplicity and the potential 
usefulness ( i.e. with a library of standard doms ).  There are two 
things that concern me.  One, I do not like to write in java script and 
second, I want to be able to cancel running scripts like I would an 
eclipse job, with a progress monitor.

I know what the response is likely to be: do something about it!  Well 
I did ( at least for the first concern, the second is a work in 
progress ).  I wanted Eclipse Monkey to be accessible to groovy scripts 
and I hacked it into there.  In the process I got a request from people 
who I asked for help on the groovy mailing list to see what I produced. 
 I was wondering if someone could take a look at it and give me some 
comments ( besides code formatting issues ), after all this is y'all's 
baby I have tampered with.

Contact me via email or via this newsgroup and I can give you the 
results in any format you like, including a patch file, plugin jar, or 
update site.  I don't want to include the patch here as an attachment 
since with the groovy 1.0 jsr 05 all library, it is about 1.7 mb in 
size.

Thanks,
James E. Ervin
