Background

This plug-in is designed to call Java code. It wraps the Girder API.

The Java documentation is here.

Notes

You may need to adjust Girder's path in ... if Java is not normally in the path. You will need both jre\bin and jre\bin\hotspot.

The JVM currently listens for a remote debugger unconditionally on port 1999.

Nothing has been done about wrapping the OSD functions. This does not seem necessary, since they are available in separate plugins. If it were done, there would be a GirderOSD class to wrap both the settings and the display. It would have to take care of drawing on the DC given a string and so on.

Terms

This plug-in is released as open source under The MIT License. You use it at your own risk. See license.txt for details.
