Hi Maurice, Other's have expressed interest in this as well. I've basically been so busy that I haven't got around to really thinking about this. There is still so much to do with Swank/Jacl (like documentation, examples etc.) and fundamentally, for me at least, having things work well with Jacl is most important. But I think I will try to set aside some time soon to give some serious thought about this. To do it right I really need to think not just about JRuby, but whether the Swank code can be modified so it would be readily accessible from other Java based dynamic languages as well (like Jython). Since a lot of the Swank code is "automatically" written it should be possible to modify the generating code to rewrite the code in a more general way. I'll download the JRuby code and spend a little time just getting a feel for what would be involved. I can sort of imagine replacing the use of Tcl Interp class in Swank with a generalized script interpreter class that dispatched calls to get/set variables and execute scripts using whatever language was embedded. But, I'm not sure exactly how similar this paradigm is between Jacl and JRuby etc. cheers, Bruce On Sep 25, 2008, at 2:28 AM, Maurice Diamantini wrote: > > Le 24 sept. 08 à 21:44, Bruce Johnson a écrit : > >> Swank , the Tk-like GUI toolkit companion to Jacl, has a new home at: >> >> http://kenai.com/projects/swank >> >> Kenai is yet another open source repository (recently started by >> Sun).
