Description John Wiegand

2001-10-10 22:15:32 EDT

After inspecting new Main(), I would like to send foo() to the result.
	Currently this is not possible.

NOTES:
	JW (5/11/01 12:26:21 PM) Not a show stopper, but a nice improvement.

DW (5/11/01 2:32:56 PM)
	I believe this would require a new evaluation context - i.e. we have a stack
	frame context and a global context, but we would need a way to tell the compiler
	about the inspected result, and how to resolve/refer to it.

	Would also need a UI to allow the snippet to be associated with the
	inspect item - i.e. like a VAJ or Smalltalk inspector.

This is now implemented, but could use some refinement. The "context" in which 
an expression is compiled is that of the selected variable/value in the 
variable/expression view. You can now type expressions in the "detail/toString" 
area a la VAJ.

The "compilation context" may be confusing to the user. This also exposes our 
expression eval limitations related to class file deployment - i.e. no 
expression evaluations when there is no source, and when in a system package 
(java.lang).

Should now be able to fix code assist to reflect selected variable type using 
new code assist API. (AST Expression eval still needed to fix eval problems).

Please verify (darin W).

Verified code assist works properly. Now we await AST evals to make this 
function more usefult.
