NetLogo is a multi-agent programmable modeling environment that runs on Java. Recently NetLogo 6.0 has been released. I wanted to try NetLogo 6.0 with a recent Java 9 (local) build. Running NetLogo 6.0 with Java 9I installed NetLogo 6.0 and ran it with the following Java command line:$ ~/src/jdk9-dev/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk/bin/java -jar Java/netlogo-6.0.0.jar Exception - stack traceJust after showing NetLogo splash screen, the above Java command...

Dynamic linker API for the Java platform (JEP 276) in JDK 9 Early Access defines dynamic linker API for the Java platform. Using this API, different language runtimes implemented for the Java platform can interoperate with each other. Nashorn JavaScript engine has been a part of JDK platform since JDK 8. Jython is an implementation of the Python programming language designed to run on the Java platform. In this blog entry, I'll demonstrate seamless access of Python objects...

Writing a pluggable dynalink linker and using it with Nashorn

JEP-276 (JEP 276: Dynamic Linking of Language-Defined Object Models) adds a facility for linking high-level operations on objects such as "read a property", "write a property", "invoke a callable object", etc., expressed as names in INVOKEDYNAMIC call sites. Nashorn JavaScript engine in OpenJDK uses dynalink for linking script and other objects. JEP 276 allows user written ("pluggable") linkers to be loaded via service loader mechanism. Because of Dynalink, Nashorn also...

Using Dynalink API with invokedynamic - a Java assembler example

Dynalink API JEP-276Dynalink API (http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/276) provides a facility for linking high-level operations on objects such as "read a property", "write a property", "invoke a callable object", etc., expressed as names in INVOKEDYNAMIC call sites. Dynalink also provides a default linker for the usual semantics of these operations on plain Java objects (Java POJO "beans" linker), as well as a facility for installing your own language-specific linkers.Dynalink has...

Underscore is a keyword in Java 9, use this script to check your code!

Underscore ("_") is a keyword in Java 9. If you use "_" as an identifier, javac of JDK 8+ issues a warning. javac of JDK 9, issues an error! To check and...

Underscore ("_") is a keyword in Java 9. If you use "_" as an identifier, javac of JDK 8+ issues a warning. javac of JDK 9, issues an error! To check and migrate your Java code to avoid using "_" as an identifier, you can use the following Nashorn script with jjs tool. This script just parses each .java file and reports "_" variables with filename, line and column numbers. This script uses Javac Tool API and Compiler Tree API.File: find_underscore.js// Usage: jjs...
