Any editor for Byteman script files?

[jaikiran]

I've been using Byteman every once in a while debugging issues in JBoss AS, but am not yet a regular For those of you who use Byteman regularly, I had a question - do you use any specific editor for writing the rules? One thing that I miss while writing Byteman rule script files is the ability to autocomplete and the ability to be prompted about syntax errors. Maybe there's some scope for a Byteman plugin for IDEs?

Not yet, but it's coming. We've got an intern lined up to do IDE based tooling for Byteman next year.

http://community.jboss.org/wiki/JBossTSProjects - 'IDE support for Byteman Rules'. Feel free to provide specific feature requests. Personally I'd like debugger breakpoint style integration with my java editor - right click a line of java code, 'create rule trigger' and it will fill out a skeleton rule that will fire on execution of that line.

Would you like a kitchen sink option too? ;-)

Great news, Jaikiran. We just finished recording the JBoss Asylum Xmas special on Byteman and Max is now all fired up to get tooling working for Byteman in Eclipse. So, we should see something in the works very soon :-)
