Hi Ambrus, I also tried to wrestle with the new interface in jep.c until I just gave up.
I hope "somebody" can make a C++ interface. Hint, hint, hint. :P r/Alex -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Zsbán Ambrus Sent: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 4:23 PM To: General forum Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] programming environment for jconsole On Tue, Sep 16, 2008 at 03:32, bill lam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Now J is the only program that require java runtime inside my computer > and I would like to get rid of java.

You could write a library for J that uses another GUI widget kit. There are basically three ways for this today. One is to use the foreign call interface (15!:) to call stuff. Second is to write a master program which is like j itself that it calls the j interpreter library, runs a program, and answers window (11!:) requests in a new way. (This used to be easier back when we had the j socket protocol. In j602, you instead have to figure out how the library interface works. The documentation and examples aren't really enough for this, so you basically have to guess. I have figured out part of the interface in the jep.c program in http://www.math.bme.hu/~ambrus/pu/jevalbot.tgz, but there are some assumptions I use, and I specifically couldn't figure out how J passes you noun data, and you may need that to handle window requests.) The third way is to do most of the work in a non-J program that handles the gui and all stuff, but do the numerical calculations and whatever J is the best for in a separate J program.
