The 2019 Edition of BSF4ooRexx

Publication: Chapter in book/Conference proceedingContribution to conference proceedings

Abstract

BSF4ooRexx is an external Rexx function package that bridges ooRexx and Java (both directions). For ooRexx programmers the included package BSF.CLS camouflages Java as a dynamic, case-independent, message-based programming language that looks like ooRexx: Java classes and objects look like ooRexx classes and objects and understand Rexx messages sent to them. At the same time BSF4ooRexx allows Java applications to employ ooRexx as a scripting language and allows Java to directly interact with Rexx objects. This presentation will introduce new features introduced to BSF4ooRexx since the last symposium and the plans for a release version for this year as it has turned quite stable. [N.B.: As a little gimmick the audience will get learn how easy it is to create full-blown JREs (Java runtime environment) from the modular Java versions, demonstrating this with JDK 11 and JavaFX11.]
