Package edu.mit.ai.psg.jevaES Description

JevaES is a core source code evaluator for Java expressions and statements; see JevaESUI for user interfaces.

JevaES (Java Evaluator: Expressions & Statements) parses and evaluates Java expressions and statements, as specified in the Java Language Specification 1.0 and amended informally in Clarifications and Amendments to the JLS (in particular, final variables and .class expressions). JevaES does not accept class and interface declarations (nor expressions with anonymous classes). In addition, JevaES accepts import declarations (reduces verbose names) and package declarations (to enable access in packages).

Most uses will be through classes in the JevaESUI user interface package, which provides user interfaces which accept typed expressions and statements.

Programs that need to evaluate individual expressions and statements usually only need to call methods in the JevaES class, e.g.,
JevaES.parseEvalStringExpression(expressionString), or
JevaES.parseEvalStringStatement(statementString).
To separate parsing from evaluation, call
JevaES.parse...(..), then EvalMethods.evaluate(...), using JevaES.defaultEnv().

Please read JevaES.copyright.

JevaES was developed using a parser generated by Sun's free Java parser generator JavaCC/JJTree (now maintained by the spinoff Metamata), using a modified version of the example Java grammar.
