You write: "[the javapackage] will be [initialized] automatically by the octave engine when it needs it; [it] is able to attach itself to a running JVM" etc, in other words you see a big role for the java package but since it is for calling Java from Octave and I want to do the opposite, I am confused. In the past when I used JNI with the Java "in charge", no action was required from the other side, which was completely passive. But then the other side was a simple numerical library, not a language interpreter. > It depends on what you want to exchange.

I need to brush up my JNI: it's been a while, but I thought they'd end up in the same process space, precisely. -- O.L. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
