I had an idea about using JavaScript from Java 6 and I wanted to give it a try on my MacBook.
No such luck: Apple has recently released Java 6 for Mac OS X Leopard but somehow it does not include Rhino, the Mozilla’s JavaScript engine bundled in Sun Java 6 release.
Instead they provided only one engine for AppleScript but frankly:
public class AppleScriptTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { ScriptEngineManager factory = new ScriptEngineManager(); ScriptEngine engine = factory.getEngineByName("AppleScript"); engine.eval("tell application \"Finder\"\n display dialog \"Who cares?\"\n end tell"); } }
Nuff said…
