joinr / clj-swingrepl

Clojure REPL GUI using Swing

clj-swingrepl

Swing Clojure REPL that uses BeanShell's JConsole component.

Build

• Install Leiningen
• lein deps
• lein javac

Install

You can pull the joinr fork from clojars at:

Run

You can run lein swank and connect with SLIME via Emacs, or you can build a distributable jar with lein uberjar

To run, use something like java -jar swingrepl-standalone.jar

Updates (joinr fork Feb 2017)

clj-swingrepl now supports the ability to send code to the repl as if the user typed the code, effectively allowing "echoing" of output to repl.

• org.dipert.swingrepl.main/send-repl
• This provides a useful platform for embedding a live "repl" in your host application that you can send input to as if the user typed it.
• Users can click on widgets, use buttons, etc. and see the corresponding clojure forms that are evaluated.

Todo

• Completions for things available in the current namespace: JConsole has its own completions mechanism that might be hooked into
• Bracket, parentheses, quote completion/matching/highlighting
• Better as-library behavior: provide configurable automatic imports

Notes

• A Clojure implementation of something like JConsole might be nice

Thanks

Many props to the BeanShell dude for making such a cool REPL.
