The Scriptlet Editor allows inline editing and pre-compilation of Java Scriptlets. To launch the editor right click within a text area and select "Helpers > Scriptlet Editor" from the pop-up menu. Alternatively press control+j. If the cursor is within an existing scriptlet, that scriptlet will be edited. Otherwise a new blank text area will be shown.

Import directives will be shown in the drop-down list at the top right of the screen:

Click the add ( + ) button to add a class or package to be imported, and remove ( - ) to delete the current import. This list will be translated into a semi-colon separated list in the "import" attribute of the enclosing <java> tag when the editor is closed.

Compile

This attempts to compile the scriptlet code. If there are compilation errors, these will be displayed in an alert box (see below):

Okay

If the scriptlet has already been compiled and there have been no changes made, this will dismiss the editor and paste the scriptlet code (including the <java> tags) into the parent text area. Otherwise an attempt will be made to compile the code first.

Cancel

This abandons any changes made to the script and dismisses the editor.
