Hi Johan,
It is not only reasoning about Java. A connection to Java is very useful to communicate with Java libraries (for example, graph libraries).
True, I was just considering my point of view because my name propped up :-)
Also, what Johan Brichau did in VW was to directly query Eclipse for reasoning about Java. Pretty cool :)
Yes, penumbra is very cool. We used it in the first version of AspectMaps built on VW. Penumbra is what I wanted Irish to be in my time, but at that time Eclipse did not have sub-method granularity for the Java code. The difficulties with the penumbra way is that Eclipse is a horrible beast to work on because of its complexity (I have some nice plugin horror stories). So Respect to JohanB for getting it working in the first place, and I understand why there is nothing like this for Pharo (yet). -- Johan Fabry jfabry@dcc.uchile.cl - http://dcc.uchile.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD Lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile
