[isabelle-dev] NEWS: more options for "isabelle jedit"

Dear Makarius,

>   - options -A and -B modify the meaning of -l to produce a base

>   - option -F focuses on the specified logic session
>   - option -R has changed: it only opens the session ROOT entry
>   - option -S sets up the development environment to edit the

>   Examples:
>     isabelle jedit -d '$AFP' -S Formal_SSA -A HOL
>     isabelle jedit -d '$AFP' -S Formal_SSA -A HOL-Analysis

this is really great and makes my life significantly easier!

There remains one gap which I am wondering how to fill it.

Lets start with

	isabelle jedit -d '$AFP' -S …

This provides a suitable base image and opens the ROOT file.

What is the canonical way to proceed from there to check the whole
session?  Of course the ROOT file lists the respective theories and you
can open them manually in jedit, but this is tiresome if the ROOT file
spans many theories.

Would clicakble theorie files in ROOT files be an option?

Cheers,
	Florian
