Shoes 4 is developed in a TDD style. You should be running the specs :)

There are rake tasks for running specs. Some examples:

$ rake spec                # Run all the specs
$ rake spec:shoes          # Run the specs for the Shoes DSL
$ rake spec:swt            # Run the specs for the Swt implementation
$ rake spec[Shape]         # Run all the specs for Shape
$ rake spec:shoes[Shape]   # Run just the DSL specs for Shape

Note: For Windows, C:\tmp\shoes4>jruby --1.9 -S rake spec

Shoes 4 comes with a command-line app runner. Just pass it the filename of your Shoes app.

$ bin/swt-shoooes samples/simple-sound.rb

Note: For Windows, C:\tmp\shoes4>bin\swt-shoooes samples\simple-sound.rb
