For doing simple Objective-C things like this, I wrote an objective-c bridge. It uses JNA and allows you to access any OS X SDK without having to generate stub classes for them (like you do with rococoa). https://github.com/shannah/Java-Objective-C-Bridge
Some sample code to give you an idea: WebView : https://github.com/shannah/Java-Objective-C-Bridge/blob/master/java/test/ca/weblite/objc/TestWebView.java NSOpenPanel : https://github.com/shannah/Java-Objective-C-Bridge/blob/master/java/test/ca/weblite/objc/NSOpenPanelSample.java Loading a nib file: https://github.com/shannah/Java-Objective-C-Bridge/blob/master/java/test/ca/weblite/objc/LoadNibSample.java Steve On Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 4:53 PM, Michael Hall <mik3h...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Feb 22, 2014, at 6:23 PM, Scott Palmer <swpal...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Sat, Feb 22, 2014 at 4:49 PM, Paul Taylor <paul_t...@fastmail.fm> > wrote: > > > >> On 22/02/2014 20:43, Eirik Bakke wrote: > >> > >>> JNA might be a simpler way to call native functions: > >>> https://github.com/twall/jna > >>> > >>> ... > >> > >> > > Not that more native choices are whats needed but if we are tossing out > different options for that then... > > For my HalfPipe application I set up a simple jNI interface to the command > line interface for FScript > http://www.fscript.org > Which is supposed to be a smalltalk-like Cocoa interface. > > I think I had some fairly simple ObjectiveC runtime interface code in > place for JRuby using FFI > > This was sort of like JNIDirect which was something Patrick Beard came up > with a while back when JDirect was going away, or shortly after it had gone > away. > > Michael Hall > > trz nio.2 for OS X http://www195.pair.com/mik3hall/index.html#trz > > HalfPipe Java 6/7 shell app > http://www195.pair.com/mik3hall/index.html#halfpipe > > AppConverter convert Apple jvm to openjdk apps > http://www195.pair.com/mik3hall/index.html#appconverter > > > > > > > >> I think JNA or its own is Wndows only isnt it, but there is something > >> called rococoa. > >> To be honest I was hoping someone else had encountered this particular > >> problem with AppNap and had something to share. > >> > >> Paul > >> > > > > JNA works on Windows, OS X, Linux, and more.
