Are there any efforts to make MAXIMA interaction with java?

Some lisp systems work with Java.

See http://franz.com/support/documentation/6.2/doc/jlinker.htm

 

See also http://bc.tech.coop/blog/040627.html

 

 

And also with C and C++ and Fortran.

 

Any maxima that runs on a lisp that supports interaction with Java can
interact with Java.

Similarly for other languages.

 

Unfortunately, not ALL lisps that run maxima have such features, and so the
use of such features would have to be outside the main scope of the
sourceforge maxima project.

 

Developing interfaces for mathematical (or other - say computer vision,
speech, handwriting, ..) libraries can be done in a separate project for
particular lisps.

Hi, MAXIMA team,

 

I have a question: were there any efforts to make MAXIMA interaction with
java?

 

As I see, MAXIMA interaction with C/C++ is questionable so MAXIMA
interaction with java is probably questionable to second power :).

But it seems to me, if MAXIMA somewhen become a powerful tool for software
development it should have the interaction with java.

And with this interaction it will be much more easily to make MAXIMA such a
tool.

 

And is there any success to make MAXIMA interaction with C/C++? I think
there are many mathematical libraries written in C/C++ which may be very
useful to use them with MAXIMA. Of course, MAXIMA is not for numerical
calculations. But it quite natural way to carry out numerical calculations
after series of symbolical ones and then return back to symbolical ones
again :).

 

 

Thank you, and, 

Best regards,
