Re: Java API

Hi Yann,

I tried to contact Fu Jie Huang (jhuangfu) about the Java API, but as yet have had no response.

There might be something good on the horizon from Sun in any event. The next Java 
version (Mustang) is slated to have scripting language agnostic support that gives 
full access to Java objects. A beta version is out, but the scripting language support 
is not there yet. 

Hopefully this functionality, when available, will circumvent the need for extensive 
coding in Lush to support JVM use. Will have to wait a while and see if anything is forth 
coming.

Something else that might be interesting to explore on the Java side is gcj and its
Compiled Native Interface (CNI, see http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcj/About-CNI.html).
This could enable mixing of Java sources with C/C++ in the Lush source code.

Later.

Raymond
