It will be good to see someone test with Eclipse and maybe remote debugging
interface someday.



That would be good.   I think first though, we should submit the versions
jars to a maven repository.   This probably mean creating a pom.xml (maven
package description file), starting versioning etc.

i think LISP stands for Lots of Idiotic Stupid Parentheses, not a Ph.D.

What I mean is, what to do in the interpreter in lisp after your program
breaks...More than using (exit)



Also any Java code in a single chunk is going to run into the method size
>> constraint.

You can break up declarative blocks anywhere you want.  2 or more pieces
get saved as individual objects and stitched back together by their parent
object.

btw it wouldn't surprise me if Java 8 figured out how to handle that
automatically... it is theoretically possible. testing will tell.


See above link contains an 8.  9?
