the error :

        Expecting: but found  instead
<script>: [51, 0] syntax error
        Expecting: kEND but found end-of-file instead

the code (remember i'm using JRuby, not Ruby) :

require 'java'

module Swing
  include_package "javax.swing"
end
module JavaLang
 include_package 'java.lang'
end

me = $bsf.lookupBean ("me")
tag = $bsf.lookupBean ("tag")
textfield = me.getComponent("text-field")
storage = me.getTagComponent("text-field")
type = tag.getProperty("js-type")
value = tag.getProperty("js-value")
action = tag.getProperty("action")
textfield.setText("From JRuby")

print "type : ", type, "\n"
print "value : ", value, "\n"
print "action : ", action, "\n"
print  "action.length : ", action.length, "\n"
text = textfield.getText()

def clearField() 
    textfield.setText("")
end

def  doOperand(t, v)
    if value  == "ce"
        clearField()
    else if value == "backspace"
        print "backspace()", "\n"
    else if value == "on"
        clearField()
#        setMemory("0")
#        setOperand("")
#        setProperty("action", value)
    end
end

def doIt(t, v) 
    if t == "operand" 
      doOperand(t, v)
    else 
      print "doValue()", "\n"
#        doValue(t, v)
    end
end

doIt(type, value)
