nashorn's engine debugging API

[Jim Laskey (Oracle)]

Clément,

I did a demo at JavaOne in 2013 using Nashorn to debug Nashorn.  The app was called Askari, after the birds you see picking bugs off the backs of rhinoceros.

-------------- next part --------------



cd .../askari/src
jjs -cp ../lib/tools.jar -scripting -fx askari.js

You should be able to load a small script (use open door), set breakpoints (click on dimmed stop sign), step and view values. 

Cheers,

-- Jim
