SpotCheck is a Macintosh language-based editor, or structure editor, that"knows" the Java language. It is designed to help a Java programmer producecorrect code, without relying on confusing and untimely feedback from acompiler.

Specifically, SpotCheck identifies syntax errors and semantic errors(undefined names, type mismatches, etc.) -- those errors normally returned by acompiler.

This analysis is performed after each edit, giving the programmerimmediate feedback on errors. By separating error checking from codegeneration in this way, and making the process interactive, SpotCheck helps aprogrammer maintain a train of thought like never before.
