jhs version 1.5 is available. Future coments should be based on this version.
I am now 100% conviinced that a browser front end to J is doable and will be a good thing. The big visions (Oleg, Dan, et. al.) are exciting and I'm coming to realize they are not pie in the sky. However, my focus now is the very narrow one of what will the core release of J701 look like. My current thinking is that the base J701 system for all platforms will be in these general terms: 1. JE 2. jconsole 3. jhs 4. JAL (in both jconsole and jhs) 5. Project Manager (in both jconsole and jhs) 6. lab (html and non-html) support in jhs 7. everything else comes through JAL Everything from JAL includes: help, labs, demos, examples, j.exe, GTK, j.jar, alternate and more powerful jhs implementations, etc. jhs will be kept as simple, lean, and mean as possible. It should not depend on any javascript libraries and must not have any source or license complications. Some javascript is required to provide core functionality, but it should be kept to a minimum. It should be as portable and as reliable as possible. Power users will head of in many different directions and that is what JAL facilitates.
