![]() This feature makes declaring loops, methods, and classes very clean. If it finds that the input is not complete (unmatched braces or a missing semicolon, for example), it will automatically insert a newline, prompting you for more input on the next line. Intelligent Newlines. DrJava parses your input each time Enter is pressed. > JFrame frame = new JFrame("My JFrame") Here is a simple interactions session, to demonstrate how the Interactions Pane can be used to experiment with objects or show GUI components. These colors can be modified in the "Colors" section in the Preferences window. Any system input will cause a box to be inserted in the Interactions Pane where you can type what you want System.in to read. Any system output will be displayed in the Interactions Pane in green (as well as in the Console tab), while system errors will be displayed in red by default. Result objects are displayed using the object's toString() method. In general, any statement or expression ending without a semicolon will display its result in the Interactions Pane, while those ending with a semicolon will complete without displaying a result. Simply define variables and call methods as you would in an ordinary method, or even define new classes and methods and call them interactively. ![]() How to Use. The Interactions Pane supports the execution of any valid Java statements as well as the evaluation of Java expressions. ![]() The Interactions Pane can also be used to experiment with your own programs or new libraries, or even to create graphical user interfaces interactively. From a teaching standpoint, the Interactions Pane is a very easy way to help students learn to write Java without having to explain the full meaning of syntax like "public static void main", and it also provides an ideal way to perform demonstrations in class. This is remarkably useful for beginning students, who no longer have to learn to write main methods, recompile, and run programs from a command line simply to test how a new class or method behaves. One of the key distinguishing features of DrJava is its Interactions Pane, which allows you to enter and evaluate Java statements and expressions on the fly.
