Invoking the Java Virtual Machine

The Java from C++ invoker is included into the archive of the Scriptol to C++ or binary executable compiler.

Why Java?

Scriptol, with just import statements and nothing else, allows to use Java classes and call their methods exactly as Scriptol classes and methods...
You can program with the clear and modern syntax of Scriptol, and still use the huge library of Java and also Java classes written by yourself or third parties...
The Java runtime includes:

• Graphical user interface.
• 2D graphics.
• 3D graphics.
• Sound, speech.
• XML.
• Aand so ones...

Using JAVA with Scriptol

The Scriptol compiler produces a binary executable, easy to install, unlike Java classes in bytecode...
Nothing to install but the executable and its files. Of cource, the Java runtime is required!

import java.lang.System
import java JavaDemo
System infos          ` instance of the java.lang.System class
JavaDemo demo         ` instance of the JavaDemo class 


demo.myVar = infos.getProperty("java.version") 
print "Java version", demo.getVar() 
demo.setVar(infos.getProperty("os.name") + " " + infos.getProperty("os.version"))
print "OS", demo.myVar
demo.exit(0)     

The JavaDemo class

public class JavaDemo 
{ 
  public String myVar; 

  // Assign a value to a variable 
  public void setVar(String str) 
  { 
    myVar = str; 
  } 

  // Return the value of a variable 
  public String getVar() 
  { 
    return myVar; 
  } 
}

Update:

From version 5, the PHP interpreter does not support Java. It still works in the Scriptol C++ version.
