[Bluej-discuss] Jython and other scripting?

[Davin McCall]

Hi Michael,

I think you've gotten slightly confused somewhere along the line - BlueJ is not based on Netbeans at all (except in 2.2.0, where we use part of the CVS support from Netbeans, but that was only very recently added).

Unfortunately I'm not aware of any similar environments for Jython or other scripting languages that run on the JVM, but maybe someone else is.

I know BlueJ is for teaching Java, but Jython and other langauges can do a nice job of teaching basic concepts as well, and BlueJ organizes things so nicely for a beginner like me..
