			<h2>BeanShell Wish List</h2>

			<h3><em>
					Here are some areas we'd like to see addressed.
					We will be moving this stale list over to the issue tracking system or Wiki in
					the near future.
				</em></h3>

			Note: These are not necessarily in order of importance or difficulty. I'm
			just trying to catalog the goals for BeanShell. If you have other ideas,
			please submit them.

			<ul>
				<li><b>Job control</b> - It should be possible to stop a running script, at least when it is
					withing the interpreter's control.
				</li>

				<li><b>Additional byte-code compilation</b> - for improved performance where
					necesarry.</li>

				<li><b>Introspector Gadget</b> -
					GUI object inspector for the BeanShell Console/Desktop and beyond,
					allowing one to navigate through
					the object world and see methods/fields, threads, etc. in a visual way.
					If this were HTML based it could even be visible outside of the container.
				</li>

				<li><b>Standalone BeanShell Script Compiler</b> - Generate stand alone classes
					that bootstrap the interpreter, their own scripts, and perhaps perhaps stored
					state. We will like wish to support this in conjuction with the 2.0 release.
				</li>

				<li>Prompt feedback for multi-line commands on the command line - e.g.
					change the prompt to "&gt; " as in Bourne shell. I've made some attempts to
					get this working with help from the token manager, but had problems.
				</li>

			</ul>
