BeanShell conveniently packaged for the Mac

DateThursday, December 4, 2008 at 9:56AM

BeanShell is a great tool for Java programmers which allows you to type Java at a command line and have it evaluated immediately, just like languages such as Python.

BeanShell is distributed as a Java .jar file, and while it is pretty easy to run these on a Mac (just double-click), its a bit untidy as they have a generic icon, and tools like LaunchBar don't recognize them as a proper application.

To remidy this I've packaged up BeanShell as a proper Mac application, you can download the result here:

Download: BeanShell.app 2.0b4

NOTE: I didn't create BeanShell, I've just packaged it.  To learn more about BeanShell, or to download its source code visit http://beanshell.org/.

Ian, you'll need to modify the info.plist. Right now it specs the Java:ClassPath entry as "/Users/ian/Downloads/bsh-2.0b4(2).jar".To remedy, include the jar file under Resources/Java and change the key.

Btw, I added the jar to your bundle's Resources/Java and changed the ClassPath key to "bsh-2.0b4.jar", and it works. Thanks.
