Hi there,
this is just to inform you that I have created a refresh for the
BSF4ooRexx distribution (bridges ooRexx and Java) and uploaded it to
Sourceforge at
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/GA/BSF4ooRexx-411.20130714-GA/>.
All new downloads will be linked to the refresh installation
package.
This refresh fixes a problem, that got reported (cf.
<https://sourceforge.net/p/bsf4oorexx/bugs/19/>),
where this particular fix could be acknowledged by reporter this
morning.
HTH,
---rony
P.S.: The problem would occur only, if a Java/NetRexx program
executed a Rexx script (e.g. as a macro) and the Rexx script raised
a condition for whatever reason, which would crash ooRexx and the
JVM as a result. The fix fixes ;) this and the refresh incorporates
this fix.

BSF4ooRexx is package for bridging ooRexx and Java.
[BSF4ooRexx even includes camouflaging support that makes Java
appear to be the dynamically typed, case-insensitive ooRexx! :) ]

Please point your browser to:<https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/GA/BSF4ooRexx-411.20130714-GA/>
in order to download the latest version of BSF4ooRexx, which is
now "generally available" (GA) as of September 8th, 2013.
Please remove first any installed version of BSF4ooRexx (using the
BSF4ooRexx menu, path "installation -> uninstall").
After successful installation of BSF4ooRexx you can find
further information via the installed BSF4ooRexx menu entitled
"Information", which contains PDF-files introducing some of the
features of BSF4ooRexx. The information folder also contains a
brief introduction to Rexx and ooRexx suitable for programmers
who either do not know Rexx or do not (yet) know ooRexx.
If there are any questions with respect to BSF4ooRexx and/or
Java then please post them on one of the BSF4ooRexx mailing
lists:
In the case you find a bug, then please report it at:
In the case that you look for the documentation of the Java
classes used in the Rexx nutshell examples use first the
JavaDocs (HTML-pages documenting each Java class) for Java 1.4
as this version of Java has quite legible notations: <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/api/>.
In the case that you need newer JavaDocs, then you may want to
use one of: <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/api/>,
<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/>
or <http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/>,
which all use heavily the "<xyz>" notation for "generics",
which may be quite distracting for novice readers. Hence the
advice to start out with the easy to comprehend JavaDocs for
Java 1.4! (Please note that the Java documentation sites have
plenty of interesting tutorials that demonstrate how to take
advantage of the functionality of different kinds of Java
classes.)
Information, documentation for BSF4ooRexx and samples can be
easily accessed via the BSF4ooRexx menu.

About "BSF4ooRexx":
"BSF4ooRexx" is an external ooRexx function package
which camouflages Java class libraries as ooRexx class
libraries. This way one is able to use ooRexx to exploit all
functionality that any Java class library contains, using the
dynamic and caseless principles of the ooRexx interpreter.
If you have Apache OpenOffice (AOO, http://openoffice.org)
or LibreOffice (http://libreoffice.org/)
installed, then the BSF4ooRexx installation adds ooRexx as a
macro language to AOO or LO! There are numerous ooRexx examples
that demonstrate how easy it becomes to program AOO (word
processor, spreadsheet or presentation module).
There is no easier way to access Java from ooRexx!
;-)
For the BSF4ooRexx team, a RexxLA project.
