WeblExec program:

What is it?

Well, it is a simple, programmer-oriented text editor, that includes options for editing and running WebL scripts.

Features

• Syntax highlighting.
• Plug-in JVM.
• Plug-in Keywords list.

Using it

Uncompress the file in the directory of your choice. The default configuration should fit the default installation options of both the JDK and WebL. To add/remove keywords to the sytax highlighter, open the "defaults.keys" file with a text editor and change it as much as you wish. Once this is done, use the "Tools" -> "Keywords control" -> "Load keywords" menu to load your new settings. Do not edit the "keywords" registry entry as it containst precomputed hash values.

Uninstallation

Delete the program's files and remove the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebLexec registry key.

Kown bugs

Since this is an alpha release, there are quite a few bugs left:

• Minor cosmetic bugs in the button bars.

Future enhancements

• Fixing the above;
• Adding Autocomplete and dynamic keyword parsing;
• More command-line options (run, minimize, exit on termination, etc...);
• WebL script debugging: Only if and when I find the time to get into the JBug API;
• ISAPI/NSAPI dll for server-side WebL;
• Adding COM Automation interface;
• Code pre-parser: adding some useful UI elements to WebL programs, such as data-entry dialogs at program start;
• WebL code generation using templates: Write generic code once, generate several scripts;
• Code library database;
