[platform-swt-dev] FScript - Smalltalk on OS X

Title: FScript - Smalltalk on OS X

Hi,

Since a number of folks on this list are old Smalltalk hands (okay, maybe just Steve N. :-) ) I wanted to pass along information about this very handy tool I discovered.

F-Script is a scripting layer and interactive Cocoa development tool. That’s cool by itself if you are into Smalltalk, but the main thing that got me interested, and why I’m using it regularly now is that it has a visual object browser and event tracker, much like Spy++ for Windows. You can click on a window of a running application and you get an outline of the view hierarchy where you clicked and then you can inspect the properties of those views. It really came in handy last week when I was doing some debugging on SWT embedding and now I’m using it on a regular basis.
