Caution: BeanShell at console can hang jEdit 4.2final
Submitted by on Friday, 11 March, 2005 - 15:43
I accidentally hit Enter when typing "while (i < 20)" at the Console and jEdit hung, doing an infinite loop, since i was not being incremented.
Luckily, the autosave recovered my document, but thought I'd warn you all about this danger.
An execution-terminate key would be nice. As of right now, the documentation shows no terminate key for infinite BeanShell loops. I think this is possible by running BeanShell in a separate thread, and killing that thread on the execution-terminate key?
If there is an execution-terminate key, please have that documented.
(Windows version of jEdit 4.2final, using Console plugin downloaded as of yesterday from inside the editor.)
