did you look at JavaConnect? This is on our roadmap for Moose in December January. So that we can connect better to Java.

No I did not look at JavaConnect? I was not familiar with it.
This looks like it would be awesome. The business world has lots of proprietary APIs available in Java. If we could open Pharo up to the Java world, that would be tremendous.
We need that for Moose too. Johan told me that this is working but need some ironing. There is also JNIPort
From what I read, it appears that it has no problem handling Java interfaces. It appears that I could easily subclass a Java interface and implement the required methods and satisfy Java when passing the objects back to Java.
This would be fantastic.
It was fully working on VisualWorks and we will work on it because this is important for us but not before december.
I guess that there is potential of having something to play with by end of December, sometime January? No obligations, or promises of course.
I haven't played with Moose yet. But I do look forward to it in the future. It looks like it could be a great tool for technical analysis of financial markets.
Thanks for letting me know about this. I'll put Clojure on the shelf and shuffle the order in which I am implementing my application so that I can potentially use JavaConnect when available.
Check also JNIport because this is a port of a way to connect with Java from dolphin. In fact johan and joachim worked in parallel :).
