Eiffel2Java Sample

This example shows how to create an instance of the Java Virtual Machine and the creation of an object of type test, a java class reproduced below: (Java Code) class test { test () { my_integer = 10; } public int my_integer; public static int my_static_integer; public void my_method (int arg_int, String arg_string) { my_static_integer = arg_int; my_integer = arg_int; } }

In order to run properly you need to read the library requirement .

Compiling the example

Since the example is using the test.java class, the first step is to compile the java class using the javac command line utility from the JDK. Once it is done, copy the test.class either into $ISE_EIFFEL\examples\Eiffel2Java\EIFGENs\classic\W_code or else into $ISE_EIFFEL\examples\Eiffel2Java\EIFGENs\classic\F_code, depending on your compilation mode (freezing vs. finalizing).

Running the example

Once the example is compiled, you can run it and here is the expected output: $ sample Creating instance of class `test' Value of `my_integer' is 10 Value of `my_static_integer' is 0 Calling `my_method' with (2, "String test") Value of `my_integer' after call to `my_method' is 2
