I have finished my first growl interface that uses applescript. For me this was easier than to use JNI. It does not support icons yet, for the rest it is fully functional. The interface is in the class " growl " that uses the same kinds of methods that were already available in the java bi...

I have not much experience with JNI. But from what ive read it's some interface to some objective C file that holds the real growl methods. How does this work on non-mac systems? And how do I compile this C file? For me GPL is fine, but for a public binding a less restricted license would be better ...

yeah i surely want to maintain the binding. I use the call to the runtime to actually execute the applescript. to my knowing there is no other way to execute applescript from a java..

If I add my method to the current binding I will try to conserve the method names and stuff, so far that's possible.

I have a running demo right now, that uses applescipt and an commandline call (invisable) to "osascript"! It can register and display a notification! And uses just sun java 1.5. Cool

is there another way for software to talk to growl other than the calls through NSDistributedNotificationCenter (that other bindings also use), via the network or via the command line?

I would like to use growl in my java app (see ted ) but the current java binding is useless because it uses Cocoa java and thus assumes extra datastructures that are not available on win/linux systems. Furthermore, cocoa java seems to be dead.. I would like to try to convert the current java binding...
