Can I directly use Java source code directly in SCILAB, or Is there another way to connect both?

Question

Hi,

a friend of mine uses SCILAB for doing his mathematicall "homework" for his studies and he told me, that it should be possible to use Java source code diretly in SCILAB.

The background is that I presented my current Java project and I would like to plot this in 3D, but I haven't done graphical output so far. And he proposed to let SCILAB do the 3D plotting, because there are some ready to use plot scemes implented. But he couldn't tell me how to achive this, so that's why I'm here :).

So my first question is, if this is possible to directly use Java source code in SCILAB or at least to some kind of connection between both? And how this is done! :)

Thank you in advance,

Andreas

Answer 1

hi,

at least I found this http://www.scilab.org/product/man/compile_and_run_javasci.html so it is possible, but I have some problems to get this to work in netbens and eclipse.

has anyone done this before?

Answer 2

in Netbeans first create a java project. then go to properties of the project u have created and go to libraries.. in libraries "add jar" now go to the scilab installed directory scilab-->modules-->javasci-->jar in that there will be jar file names javasci.jar add this to library.. and u r done. now go to ur main file and check out import javasci.*; and in main funtion Scilab.exec("plot2d(1,3)");

u can see a scilab window
