Hi all,

I just chanced on the homepage of a new JAVA XCMD for HyperCard:
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Circuit/6865/

It requires HyperCard 2.4.1 on a PowerPC w/32 Mb RAM and MRJ 2.1

It runs Java Beans (special applets) , the author supplies a sample bean

You can run a web browser applet too - Icebrowser http://www.icesoft.no/

It might be interesting to obtain the source code for this and roll it into
the OpenCard codebase,
you could then 'draw' a special drawrect on your card which represents the
JavaPane and then interact with its methods and properties through a
'JavaPane' function.

<daydream>
on opencard
    set the codebase of javapane 1 of cd 1 to [filePath/URLString]
    describe the methods of javapane 1 of cd 1 to cd fld "methods dump"
    ....
    get JavaPane(doMethod,"BeforeNavigate","<someParameterOrOtherHere>"
    get JavaPane(setProperty,"MyExoticPropertyForThisApplet","MyWackyValues")
end opencard
</daydream>

P.S. I've also posted this to a few other lists (SuperCard,Serf,OpenCard,etc)

cheers,
Sandro Bilbeisi
