JBasic 2.9 nearing completion

Okay, so basically no one even knows this site is here. However, I used to maintain the JBasic.net domain pointing to a private web page where I blogged about that I was doing... that got toasted when Apple removed their .Mac web page feature, and I never put it back properly until now.

So JBasic.net now redirects here to the SourceForge page where I'll continue to update what's going on.

For the last two years, I've continued to tinker with JBasic fixing rough edges and extending the documentation. The major features in this upcoming release are:

• Native SQL processing and a new "TABLE" data type.
• Connection to external databases via JDBC integrated into the file system.
• Much improved security for multi-user mode or creating servers using JBasic

I anticipate having the doc finished this spring and a new release pushed out to SF at that time. Stay tuned, and if you have any questions fire them my way!

Hi Tom,
Any code samples invoking JBasic script from Java? I reviewed the .pdf, but must have missed it if it's there. Also, is there a way to pass objects to JBasic from the calling Java program (e.g. add objects to the script's scope from Java)?

thanks

Hello!

The PDF is quite stale; I'll update it which should help.

I will also add a method so an existing object in the calling Java program space can be seen as a named object in JBasic. You can create new objects easily within JBasic programs, but obviously I need to add externally created object support.

I will push updates this weekend.
