Hey Sebb,
The point is to keep track of variable scoping and give the user a
quick link to in-scope variables.
For instance, user is editing a text field. User right-clicks and
sees a JMenu for "Thread Variables". Highlighting that Menu would
show a list of JMenuItems for each variable that is in-scope.
If not a right-click menu, I think a code-complete type of interactive
typing would be nice as well.
Thanks for the reply!
Anthony
