Javascript provides support for calling Java programs from within its framework. For example:

alert("Date: " + (new java.util.Date().toString())

should create a Java Date object and return a string to Javascript for printing. However, this doesn't seem to work in Photoshop. Is there a way to call Java from Javascript?
