java -> fortran bindings

Has anyone written any java bindings into fortran. I'd like to add some
monitors into my fortran code so that I can observe it's progress in my
java gui.

Any good resources much appreciated.

try "JAPI" - "Java Application Programming Interface"

http://www.japi.de/

It runs on Win32, Linux or Solaris, and has bindings for a variety of
languages. Source is available.

Minor problems:

1. You must have a JRE installed.

2. For some, AWT programming is primitive.

3. Binaries are for G77. 2.95.2 is an old version. I've tried it with a
G77 3.x and it works. I don't know about g95 or gfortran, but there is
source.

4. It uses sockets to communicate with the Java runtime. On Windows XP
- I have SP2 - each time a program is run it brings up a warning from
my Windows "firewall". You either need to permit each program to run or
you need to open a specific port in the settings. Sorry I can't
remember which.

5. It's old. 2003. It may not be maintained. The best documentation is
in German.
