I have been trying to use eclipse as a jython ide. Currently I have been working with a program that has a script editor inside the program(uses jython), but the script must be run in its entirety each time, it is not 'interactive'. There is a large api associated with it and I want to use eclipse to have an interactive console. I cannot import the modules/jar/classes.
I have tried to append the folder containing the jar files to the sys path seen here, I have exploded the jar files and added those files (which have the class files in them) to the sys path seen here. I have added the jar files and class files to the classpath and the user libraries under eclipse>windows>preferences>java>Build Path
Currently I can import without error, I can seemingly construct a class without error, but nothing happens.
An example of what my console looks like is
from myFile import myClass
>>>myObj = myClass.open(fileName)
>>>myObj
>>>type(myObj)
>>>myObj.__class__
>>>type('string')
<type 'str'>
>>>'string'.__class__
<type 'str'>
when I try to create an instance of my class it doesn't throw an error, but it doesn't do anything either. Yet other objects appear to work.
Any insight is appreciated
