(I'm sorry if this is a repeat. I've really been having quite a bit of
trouble
with my ISP/news access. In the good old days, I would have posted
via dejanews.)

Greetings, Friends:

A couple of years ago, I wrote a few hacks for my own use and then gave
them away because they looked to be generally useful. In fact, there are
2 of them that were really pretty popular in certain circles and I still
periodically get people writing me mail about them. I am referring to
the following 2 things:

1. The Delphi-Java bridge code I wrote for mixed-language programming
between Java and Delphi. This includes a translation of the jni.h header
file into Borland Object Pascal as well as some higher-level wrapper
classes (in Object Pascal as well) that tend to make JNI more bearable
to deal with.

and:

2. The SmartJ Java class launcher, a drop-in replacement for java.exe
that is much easier to use for normal people.

These are both marginally updated, though I intend to do some more work
on them over the next couple of months, since I am currently between
projects. At any rate, I have heard people mention that SmartJ does not
work with Java 2 etcetera. That was not quite true. I think it didn't
work with JDK 1.3 or hotspot or some kind of combination thereof. Over
the last couple of days, I have done enough incremental hacking to get
SmartJ working across the board again. (Though I haven't tested it on
anything but Windows 98, so it might be nice if somebody told me it
actually worked on NT or Win2000 or WinMe or whatever...)

I really owe anybody who was using either of these 2 things something of
an apology or explanation. At some point, my ISP of the time moved
servers. I kept getting queries about the thing, but I also wanted to
update the packages. Well, I was busy doing paid work and it all sort of
fell through the cracks.

The new Revusky Hacks page is accessible via the alias:

which is still in a pretty lame state. But you can download these 2
hacks there.

Enjoy,
