Randall,
Java provides a lot of methods for File IO, which are abstracted and
platform-dependent. My external enables them to be used from within Rev.
Java Swing offers a platform-independent file or directory chooser
dialog. However I have never tested it by using my external. I will
test it and inform you of the result later. I don't think my external
can open dialogs created in Java.

Well, good, thanks, i guess that provides a path to cross pltform
external supported code. Do java machines offer file IO and
directory navigation? How about reaching into file system events
as they happen and generating rev messages?

Subject: Re: externals
Randall,
In rev, are externals written to a reference VM so that they are
only written once and can run on any platform? Or, do they have to
be written separately to each platform? Can java programs be called
as externals?
Randall
I have written an external to launch a JVM and call the Java methods
on Windows and Mac OS. By the external the Java methods can be called
as external commands or functions of Rev on both platforms. The
external also enables the Java programs to send messages to Rev's
handlers.

The demo is created by Runrev 3.0. In the demo, Derby(relational
database in written Java), HttpClient(http components written Java),
Red5(Flash server written in Java) and Sphinx-4(speech recognizer
written in Java) are used.
