MedicSN6 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?t=128800 Hi fellow scripters, Initially we had hoped to release the major upgrade to our scripting technology with Patch 1.03, but we were not able to get it fully implemented in time. Therefore we're pushing the ability to use Java to the next patch Why is this awesome™? * Using a widespread, proven and robust language with loads of documentation and tutorials. * Using IDEs such as NetBeans and Eclipse for development and debugging. * Using Object-Oriented programming architecture and design. * Using generally much higher performance script execution. * Using many standard Java libraries instead of reinventing the wheel. Note: this will not replace SQF scripting, so the transition should be smooth. Edited December 17, 2011 by Medic~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Post #3 * the engine should be be able to run code written in any programming language that can compiled for Java Virtual Machine but we did not experiment with it so far ( quite few, Logo anyone ) * for now, bridge to all existing scripting commands is present * it is possible create new scripting commands to take full advantage of JVM (performance, nicer interface) * Arma 3 is going to build upon this technology, so if you can, Take On Java now and help us to shape it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
