Hi, Your question doesn't make sense. The X Window System is a graphical environment. JavaScript is a programming language, typically used for enhancement of web-based user interfaces or customization of web server applications. JavaScript has nothing to do with the Java programming language, which is the topic of discussion on the freebsd-java list, to which you posted. If you want to make an X program work under Java, that's really not sensible, either. You need to find the language of the original program and look for a way to help automate the process of converting that to Java. If it uses X for graphics, then you'll also need something to convert the X graphical toolkit calls to Java's AWT or Swing toolkit calls. -- Matt Curtin cmcurtin@interhack.net http://www.interhack.net/people/cmcurtin/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
