Changes in JManager 2.1
JManager 2.1, as included with Mac OS Runtime for Java 2.1, adds the following features and functions over JManager 2.0:
-
JManager now allows the concept of an applet page, which is an abstract construct within which applets may share information. That is, applets instantiated within the same applet page share their static variables.
-
New functions to obtain JNI-style
jobjects
directly, rather than getting a JRI-style
jref
and calling a conversion function. Note that the Java Native Interface is now the preferred method for accessing native code or manipulating Java objects in a native environment.
-
New functions to pass menu events and mouse events with modifier or event record information.
-
A shared library registration function used when you call native code. This function allows the JNI (or JRI) to make calls to currently instantiated libraries rather than creating new copies.
-
A function to determine the current version of MRJ installed on the host computer.
Note that existing functions, as documented for JManager 2.0, have not changed.
