With MetaKernel, it already does code completion for variables, methods, and classes. That is possible because /vars, /methods, and /classes are commands. If there were a way to ask for code completions in general, then you could do it for any string. This would be one benefit of writing a kernel in Java. Without doing that, you need a way to get that info from the command line.
@dsblank Ah! That makes sense. I was trying to complete Sys to System. This would def be a nice feature.
Does JShell support code completion? This project is not using (http://geophile.com/jshell/) Its using the Java 9 Repel which is a completely different shell. I dont think the Java 9 Repel (also called jshell annoyingly) supports code completion.
I could be wrong. I am not export on this stuff honestly. This project has honestly gotten more attention than I expected
Wait, this uses Kulla which is JShell??
Edit: I think, perhaps, I may have been spreading the wrong info. I don't think that's the kulla jar, which is the link you provided (I think?) In any case I think we are all using the kulla jar which contains JShell (or is hell i don't know haha).
So Kulla is a jar that is linked to Java 9s repel which is called jshell (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/kulla/)
In the issue you opened earlier you linked this project (http://geophile.com/jshell/) but its not the same thing. Or at least I am fairly sure its not.
Big thing is kulla only works on Java 9 while the link above works on Java 1x. and has not been updated since 2000
I mean, perhaps im the confused one. :-P
Ha yes indeed and I am the perpetrator of such misinformation. I have given myself 40 lashings as penance.
hey man, No worries. alrighty im gonna close this one as "Outside the scope"
Au Contraire my friend, kulla does support
I think code completion could be done. Currently there are two completions in kulla/JShell:
Sys
into System
, and System.o
into System.out
System.out.println(
into this output:-> System.out.println(
java.io.PrintStream.println(boolean arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(char arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(int arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(long arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(float arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(double arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(char[] arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(java.lang.String arg0)
java.io.PrintStream.println(java.lang.Object arg0)
The current java9_kernel uses pexpect to send and receive commands. It should be possible to either:
Ok OK. Reopened. :-)
I know that code completion works in JShell. Is there any way to get it working in the notebooks?
