4 | The Java Foreign Linker Interface (JFLI) provides an abstraction to |

---|
6 | ported to other Lisp implementations. |

12 | ------ |
---|
13 | |
---|
14 | jfli (http://jfli.sf.net) is a library that provides access to Java |
---|
15 | from Lisp. jfli-abcl is jfli modified to work with ABCL |
---|
16 | (http://armedbear-j.sf.net); it provides the same interface to Java, |
---|
17 | but, since ABCL lives on the JVM, it doesn't need jni. |
---|
18 | |
---|
19 | jfli-abcl has an experimental NEW-CLASS macro that writes and loads a |
---|
20 | Java class at runtime, and defines the usual jfli-like Lisp interface |
---|
21 | to it. See the documentation of NEW-CLASS and the examples for the |
---|
22 | syntax. If you want to use it, make sure that (1) asm.jar |
---|
23 | (http://asm.objectweb.org) is in your classpath, and (2) the runtime |
---|
24 | generated Java classes are in the Java package of the same name as the |
---|
25 | Lisp package in which they're defined, like this: |
---|
26 | |
---|
27 | (in-package "FOO") |
---|
28 | (new-class "FOO.MyClass" ...) |
---|
29 | |
---|
30 | Caveats: jfli-abcl inherits all the bugs from jfli; see the archives |
---|
31 | of the jfli-users mailing list for a partial list. It probably also |
---|
32 | adds some of its own. I'm particularly interested in the latter type. |
---|

34 | Please send (ABCL-specific) bug reports, suggestions, examples, |
---|
35 | and whatever else you can think of, to asimon@math.bme.hu. |
