<P>
The Tcl/Java project's goal is to make integrating the
Java platform and the Tcl scripting language as easy
as possible. The project actually consists of two
distinct packages, called Tcl Blend and Jacl.
It is important to understand what each package provides
and in what situations one might choose to use Jacl
or Tcl Blend.
</P>
<P>
<B>Jacl</B> is a self-contained implementation of a Tcl
interpreter, written entirely in Java. Jacl also
includes features that facilitate communication between
a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Jacl is typically
used to incorporate scripting functionality into an existing
Java application. Jacl is the ideal solution for users
that want to add Tcl scripting to a Java application, but
don't want to deal with the complexities of native code
that come with Tcl Blend.
</P>
<P>
<B>Tcl Blend</B> is a Tcl extension that makes use of
<B>JNI</B> to facilitate communication between a Java
interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Tcl Blend is typically
used to load a Java interpreter into an existing Tcl
process, so that functionality implemented in Java can
be accessed via Tcl. One can also load Tcl Blend and
Tcl into a Java process, which is a great way to add
scripting functionality to an existing Java application.
Because Tcl Blend is a normal Tcl extension, one can
use it with other popular Tcl extensions like Tk,
Expect, and Itcl.
</P>
<P>
Tcl Blend and Jacl define both a Tcl API and a Java
API that make it easy to call Java code from Tcl or
call Tcl code from Java. For example, one could
allocate a Java object in a Tcl script and interactively
invoke Java methods on the object. It is also easy to use
the supplied API to evaluate a Tcl procedure from
a Java method or implement Tcl procudures in Java.
The flexible API and wealth of implementation options
provided by the Tcl/Java project make integrating
Tcl and Java easy.
