Great tool Larry ! Beanshell is my favorite tool and I can appreciate how you transformed it into a production tool for jump with a single 150 lines java plugin ! As you say, beanshell has the capabilities of full java, and that's what makes it even more powerfull than MapBasic or Avenue ! Every body like powerfull tools and hate too complex ones. BeanTool is really as simple as powerfull.
For a script like "reverse linestring", it should be even easier to use if one could associate a keyboard shortcut to the bsh-command, what could be developped as a separate plugin if anyone is interested.
