JIGS works well with the current base library - that's well tested. It's nice for non-GUI "server" stuff if you need to use ObjC libraries from Java or vice versa. :-)
It's never been used (AFAIK) with the gui library, so I wouldn't really advertise that on the website. And cross-language subclassing doesn't really work reliably, so if you're trying to subclass NSApplication or NSDocument from Java you may run into troubles. The Foundation API has almost no need to subclass library classes (extensions/customizations are done via delegation and similar non-subclass-based methods, which is great design IMO), so that's less of a problem there ;-) Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Stefan Bidigaray <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2007 5:12pm To: GNUstep Discuss Discuss <[email protected]> Subject: Status of JIGS, RIGS, GNUstep Guile, StepTalk _______________________________________________ Discuss-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss-gnustep As some of you already know we're currently in the process of updating the website to better portrait GNUstep to the world. To achieve this goal, I feel fairly strong about advertising JIGS, RIGS and the Guile bridges. I was able to find some info on JIGS and RIGS but I'm still not sure if they can be used with both -base and -gui. The JIGS docs still talk about using -gui with 0.8.0 while the current release is 1.5.5. As for RIGS, all I know is that it's not "bullet-proof". I wasn't even able to find info on GNUstep Guile, so I'm completely in the dark (I know it introduces scripting to GNUstep, but don't StepTalk already do this too). As for StepTalk, there's quite a bit of info but I still wasn't able to find a status report on it (GNUstep website still says latest version is 0.8.1, yet the version in Debian is 0.10.0, what gives?). I'll need more info for other libraries later on, but that's for another time.
