Re: [ease-dev] Idea EASE Jupyter

[Christian Pontesegger <christian.pontesegger@xxxxxx>]

Hi Martin,

Jupyter is a very interesting platform. I was looking at the IPython 
Notebook some years ago, but it was not in a shape where it could easily 
be integrated in EASE. Now this seems to have changed. I like the idea 
of having jupyter support in EASE.

The perfect solution would be to run jupyter directly on jython as we 
then could fully integrate this to eclipse without the need for an 
external interpreter. However maven for example also offers a config 
dialog where users may switch between internal and external runtimes. So 
this would not be a blocker.

For me 2 things matter most:
* support to access java object from script code
* support to draw and update charts/pictures in the notebook

With the latter feature this might also be a very interesting project 
for the science working group. I will add a reference to this proposal 
on their mailing list.

Do you think that upper features will work?
