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.
