beanshell?
 

Who or what is beanshell?:D

You do ask the hairy questions:D

I don't understand it but this is the simplest explanation I could find
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeanShell

:)

If that's a simple explanation I can't wait for a complicated one.:)

christ that explains everything i don't need to know!

You asked:D :D

Some guru here can probably explain it in much better terms!

what's a guru?

google is a guru.... so ask google ;)

who's google? is he another guru.

Pat Niemeyer seems to be the man behind it.

might explain it better lol... I'm not quite sure what it is .. and I'm intrigued why you are asking. I have a non standard Limewire which has a tab for Beanshell and I sometimes get so bored that I try to find the answer .. so far, I've not understood a word:) ........... Is there a tab for it on the standard Limewire or Frostwire?

Gurus are usually Indian and have long beards;)

I seen one of those guru's last week he had a white towel on his head (think he must have hurt his head and going to the hospital) did'nt see any blood though? write to you soon, and tootle pip

In case anyone wonders what this BeanShell stuff is about: it allows you to script the innards of the program without using a java compiler and without relaunching after modifications. The syntax is very much Java, so you can easily prototype new functionality and copy it to .java files later. An example FrostWire.bsh file can be found here:

FrostWire.bsh

If this file is put in ForstWire's preference folder it will be loaded upon startup and executed. Among other things it shows how to add a menu with custom commands that execute script functions.

Similar files can be loaded from the BeanShell console tab while the program is running. You can also type arbitrary statements here, for example print() statements to display variables in Java classes.

BTW: my LimeWire OS X builds did sport the BeanShell thing for a long time already. But the file is named LimeWire.bsh there...

Thankyou all for your effort to explane what Beanshell is about, but in the Future i will stick to the telephone, it does'nt give me a headache!:(
