[Oorexx-devel] Converting ooRexx from C++ to Java?

[David G. <dav...@gm...>]

Greetings Rexx people. Has anyone ever considered converting the ooRexx
interpreter from C++ to Java or have a feel for the level of difficulty? I'm
aware of things like BSF4Rexx but was looking for a pure Java solution.

I've got some Java code that analyzes z/OS system dumps (as an alternative
to IPCS). This code is platform-independent. It would be nice to be able to
run some legacy Rexx scripts that currently use an IPCS API to read a dump
and get them to use my Java code instead (and running the Rexx scripts from
a Java Rexx interpreter would be nice too).

(I looked also at NetRexx and Rexx2Nrx but the latter gave me a lot of
errors on the sample script I gave it).

Cheers,

Dave
