swank-kawa.scm

Hi Helmut Eller,

I've been looking into kawa support within emacs. So far I have slime,
scheme-complete, paredit set up. I came across this code you wrote.

I have 2 problems that I'm hoping you could help me with.

1) Compilation
I'm working on windows and I'm not exactly sure if I got the
compilation process correct. I ran kawa with -cp to tools.jar and
kawa.jar and did (compile "swank-kawa.scm" "swank-kawa") from the
repl. There wasn't any error message and it produced a swank-kawa.zip
within slime\contrib. I'm wondering if it should have been renamed to
a jar and included it in the classpath. I haven't done anything yet
and assume that is how it should be.

2) Usage
at the end of the instruction you said
"Start everything with  M-- M-x slime kawa"

I couldn't quite figure how to do that.
I did M-x slime and got this

(begin (require "G:/emacs-24.2/lisp/slime/contrib/swank-kawa.scm")
(start-swank "c:/Users/****/AppData/Local/Temp/slime.13604"))

   "swank$Mnkawa.attach(swank-kawa.scm:1777)"
   "swank$Mnkawa.vmAttach(swank-kawa.scm:1758)"



How should I run my own kawa code so that slime-kawa could hook onto
it? So far I do it from emacs' eshell and I have a batch file
somewhere that runs java kawa.repl %* that is within the PATH
