Programming environment + kawa question

[Dominique Boucher]

Hi,

I have two questions for you guys:

1) What kind of programming environment do you use when developing Kawa
code? Personally, I use XEmacs with a number of packages I have
developed over the years. Are there some more Kawa-friendly environments
I don't know and should be aware of? I'm trying to convince my
colleagues to take a look at Scheme, so an Emacs replacement would be
nice (for them, not for me ;-).

2) I am currently developing a wrapper around the Kawa compiler. It
directly calls 'kawa.lang.CompileFile.compile_to_files'. It works great,
except for one thing. When there is an internal error (like trying to
open an undefined class), the 'compile_to_files' method prints the stack
trace and calls System.exit(-1). So my wrapper also aborts. That's
really annoying. Can this be changed?
