I spent a lot of time programming in Java recently, and one thing I miss from scripting languages was the ability to test them in a console.
To quickly test a java program, I have to edit a file, then turn it to bytecode and execute it. Even using an IDE, it loses its fun after the 372 th time.
I would like to know if there is a product out there that features anything like an interactive console (I bet you need a JIT compiler) and some autocompletion (with relexivity, I suppose it's possible).
Maybe that's something very common that I just don't know about or something completely impossible, but its worst asking :-)
