There is a basic difference between debugging compiled code using debug symbols, debugging a live environment that’s represented as if it isn’t, and debugging a live environment that’s represented as if it is. In general Java is represented the same way as C/C++, although Eclipse is somewhat

Well if you have a specific template in mind then you can use Pillar and input the final results as images back to Morphic. Creating a full PowerPoint implementation with Morphic sounds an overkill to me. Why waste all this time when there so many great external solutions ? Or you even bypass Pil

Watching is one thing you can do to see the result of an expression. The issue is that this has to be in scope within the selected stackframe or something. I can never watch once that scope has gone. As a result, I have no idea if it is possible, but I cannot just open an inspector that sticks a

Should pretty standard even for Java using a debugger I mean I have done this with Visual Studio and its debugger with C++. It even allows you to inspect the machine code or see the memory in raw bits formats. So I find it hard to believe that Eclipse cannot do that with Java. There is even a fea

Yes I was thinking of something like the morphic approach with a palette for adding buttons, text, images (maybe someone has done a simple vector paint app - didn't think to check). Of course it quickly gets annoying without a simple template mechanism to have a consistent header/footer - and y

I am only familiar with Eclipse, not other Java development environments. In comparison, what is lacking in the land of Java, which is so powerful in Pharo/Squeak/Smalltalk is the ability to inspect the object resulting from some highlighted code. As a developer, Smalltalk wins on inspectability

Super cool more detailed recommendations when I try it on practice A cheap pdf viewer in Pharo would be to turn pdf pages to JPG images which you can load via image morph so you won’t have to have two separate windows. There are ton of converters out there that can do this. On Wed, 1 Nov 2017 at 2
