I use the following class to access Maxima from MathRider (which is a
Java-based mathematics computing environment http://mathrider.org):

  https://mathrider.dev.java.net/source/browse/mathrider/trunk/src/plugins/maxima_plugin/src/org/mathrider/maximaplugin/MaximaWrapper.java?rev=709&view=log

Here is the small response listener class that goes with it:

  https://mathrider.dev.java.net/source/browse/mathrider/trunk/src/plugins/maxima_plugin/src/org/mathrider/ResponseListener.java?rev=255&view=log

And here is an example of the MaximaWrapper class being used:

  https://mathrider.dev.java.net/source/browse/mathrider/trunk/src/plugins/maxima_plugin/src/org/mathrider/maximaplugin/MaximaShell.java?rev=709&view=log


I have not enabled Maxima access in MathRider by default yet, but
MaximaWrapper should work okay outside of MathRider.

Hope this helps :-)
