[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51824] octave integration into java

[Andrew Janke]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #51824 (project octave):

FWIW, this is a pretty big project. It sounds like you're asking for
functionality similar to the Matlab Compiler SDK's
<https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab-compiler-sdk.html> Java support
(formerly known as Matlab Builder JA). This basically means taking the
embeddable version of Octave, wrapping it in a Java class library, and
providing a tool to generate Java class wrappers for user-supplied M-code
entry points. That would require formalizing the parts of octave.jar that
allow dispatching M-code calls from Java code.

I'm not saying it's not worth doing; just noting that it would take a lot of
work.

Only the GUI parts of Matlab and some support libraries are written in Java.
The core of Matlab is a C/C++/Fortran application, like Octave is. The Matlab
Compiler SDK's Java support is a separate wrapper layer on top of the "native"
Matlab application/library. There's synergy in the GUI bits, but that's it.
