Hi there,
BSF4ooRexx is package for bridging ooRexx and Java.
[BSF4ooRexx even includes camouflaging support that makes Java appear to be the
dynamically typed,
case-insensitive ooRexx! :) ]
---
Please point your browser
to:<https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/GA/BSF4ooRexx-411.20130714-GA/>
in order to
download the latest version of BSF4ooRexx, which is now "generally available"
(GA) as of September
8th, 2013.
Please remove first any installed version of BSF4ooRexx (using the BSF4ooRexx
menu, path
"installation -> uninstall").
After successful installation of BSF4ooRexx you can find further information
via the installed
BSF4ooRexx menu entitled "Information", which contains PDF-files introducing
some of the features of
BSF4ooRexx. The information folder also contains a brief introduction to Rexx
and ooRexx suitable
for programmers who either do not know Rexx or do not (yet) know ooRexx.
If there are any questions with respect to BSF4ooRexx and/or Java then please
post them on one of
the BSF4ooRexx mailing lists:
* the BSF4ooRexx developer list:
<https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bsf4oorexx-devel>
* the BSF4ooRexx support list:
<https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_name=bsf4oorexx-support>
In the case you find a bug, then please report it at:
* <https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=400586&atid=1660873>.
In the case that you look for the documentation of the Java classes used in the
Rexx nutshell
examples use first the JavaDocs (HTML-pages documenting each Java class) for
Java 1.4 as this
version of Java has quite legible notations:
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/>.
In the case that you need newer JavaDocs, then you may want to use one of:
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/>,
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/> or
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/>, which all use heavily the "<xyz>"
notation for
"generics", which may be quite distracting for novice readers. Hence the advice
to start out with
the easy to comprehend JavaDocs for Java 1.4! (Please note that the Java
documentation sites have
plenty of interesting tutorials that demonstrate how to take advantage of the
functionality of
different kinds of Java classes.)
Information, documentation for BSF4ooRexx and samples can be easily accessed
via the BSF4ooRexx menu.

About "BSF4ooRexx":
"BSF4ooRexx" is an external ooRexx function package which camouflages Java
class libraries as
ooRexx class libraries. This way one is able to use ooRexx to exploit all
functionality that any
Java class library contains, using the dynamic and caseless principles of
the ooRexx interpreter.
If you have Apache OpenOffice (AOO, http://openoffice.org) or LibreOffice
(http://libreoffice.org/) installed, then the BSF4ooRexx installation adds
ooRexx as a macro
language to AOO or LO! There are numerous ooRexx examples that demonstrate
how easy it becomes
to program AOO (word processor, spreadsheet or presentation module).
There is no easier way to access Java from ooRexx!
;-)
For the BSF4ooRexx team, a RexxLA project.
