(more precisely, a <code class="classname">JOptionPane</code> object) with the
traditional beginner's message and an OK button.
Let's see what is happening here.This statement calls a static method (or function) named
<code class="function">message</code> in jEdit's Macros class. If you
don't know anything about classes or static methods or Java (or C++,
which employs the same concept), you will need to gain some
understanding of a few terms. Obviously this is not the place for
academic precision, but if you are entirely new to object-oriented
programming, here are a few skeleton ideas to help you with
BeanShell.</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>An <em class="glossterm">object</em> is a collection of data
that can be initialized, accessed and manipulated in certain
defined ways.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>A <em class="glossterm">class</em> is a specification of what
data an object contains and what methods can be used to work
with the data. A Java application consists of one or more
classes (in the case of jEdit ,over 600 classes) written by the
programmer that defines the application's behavior. A BeanShell
macro uses these classes, along with built-in classes that are
supplied with the Java platform, to define its own
behavior.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>A <em class="glossterm">subclass</em> (or child class) is a
class which uses (or <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">inherits</span>”</span>) the data and
methods of its parent class along with additions or
modifications that alter the subclass's behavior. Classes are
typically organized in hierarchies of parent and child classes
to organize program code, to define common behavior in shared
parent class code, and to specify the types of similar behavior
that child classes will perform in their own specific
ways.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>A <em class="glossterm">method</em> (or function) is a
procedure that works with data in a particular object, other
data (including other objects) supplied as
<em class="glossterm">parameters</em>, or both. Methods typically
are applied to a particular object which is an
<em class="glossterm">instance</em> of the class to which the method
belongs.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>A <em class="glossterm">static method</em> differs from other
methods in that it does not deal with the data in a particular
object but is included within a class for the sake of
convenience.</p></li></ul></div><p>Java has a rich set of classes defined as part of the Java
platform. Like all Java applications, jEdit is organized as a set of
classes that are themselves derived from the Java platform's classes. We
will refer to <em class="firstterm">Java classes</em> and <em class="firstterm">jEdit
classes</em> to make this distinction. Some of jEdit's classes
(such as those dealing with regular expressions and XML) are derived
from or make use of classes in other open-source Java packages. Except
for BeanShell itself, we won't be discussing them in this guide.In our one line script, the static method
<code class="function">Macros.message()</code> has two parameters because that is
the way the method is defined in the <a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/Macros.html" target="_top">Macros</a> class. You must
specify both parameters when you call the function. The first parameter,
<em class="parameter"><code>view</code></em>, is a variable naming the current, active
<a class="ulink" href="../api/org/gjt/sp/jedit/View.html" target="_top">View</a> object.
Information about pre-defined variables can be found in <a class="xref" href="predefined-variables.html" title="Predefined Variables in BeanShell">the section called “Predefined Variables in BeanShell”</a>.</p><p>The second parameter, which appears to be quoted text, is a
<em class="glossterm">string literal</em> - a sequence of characters of
fixed length and content. Behind the scenes, BeanShell and Java take
this string literal and use it to create a <code class="classname">String</code>
object. Normally, if you want to create an object in Java or BeanShell,
you must construct the object using the <code class="function">new</code> keyword
and a <em class="firstterm">constructor</em> method that is part of the
object's class. We'll show an example of that later. However, both Java
and BeanShell let you use a string literal anytime a method's parameter
calls for a <code class="classname">String</code>.</p><p>If you are a Java programmer, you might wonder about a few things
missing from this one line program. There is no class definition, for
example. You can think of a BeanShell script as an implicit definition
of a <code class="function">main()</code> method in an anonymous class. That is
in fact how BeanShell is implemented; the class is derived from a
BeanShell class called <a class="ulink" href="../api/bsh/XThis.html" target="_top">XThis</a>.
If you don't find that helpful, just think of a script as one or more
blocks of procedural statements conforming to Java syntax rules. You
will also get along fine (for the most part) with C or C++ syntax if you
leave out anything to do with pointers or memory management - Java and
BeanShell do not have pointers and deal with memory management
automatically.</p><p>Another missing item from a Java perspective is a
<code class="function">package</code> statement. In Java, such a statement is
used to bundle together a number of files so that their classes become
visible to one another. Packages are not part of BeanShell, and you
don't need to know anything about them to write BeanShell macros.Finally, there are no import statements in
this script. In Java, an <code class="function">import</code> statement makes
public classes from other packages visible within the file in which the
statement occurs without having to specify a fully qualified class name.
Without an import statement or a fully qualified name, Java cannot
identify most classes using a single name as an identifier.</p><p>jEdit automatically imports a number of commonly-used packages
into the namespace of every BeanShell script. Because of this, the
script output of a recorded macro does not contain
<code class="function">import</code> statements. For the same reason, most
BeanShell scripts you write will not require <code class="function">import</code>
statements.</p><p>Java requires <code class="literal">import</code> statement to be located at
the beginning of a source file. BeanShell allows you to place
<code class="literal">import</code> statements anywhere in a script, including
inside a block of statements. The <code class="literal">import</code> statement
will cover all names used following the statement in the enclosing
block.</p><p>If you try to use a class that is not imported without its
fully-qualified name, the BeanShell interpreter will complain with an
error message relating to the offending line of code.</p><div class="sidebar"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><p class="title"><b></b></p></div></div></div><p>Here is the full list of packages automatically imported by
