| We use Java to make cross-platform GUIs that can communicate with the running C++ code. These GUIs may do any number of things. In particular, VR Juggler 1.0 has a tool called VjControl that can be used to do remote runtime reconfiguration of a running VR Juggler application. In VR Juggler 1.0, users do not write any Java code. | ||||||||

Q: Why use both Java and C++?VR Juggler documents refer to the use of Java and C++ together. Why not just make everything Java or everything C++ instead of having a mix? Do I have to use both languages to write an application?A: The two languages serve different purposes.In VR Juggler, Java and C++ are used for different purposes. We use C++ for high-performance, natively compiled code capable of delivering the real-time performance needed for VR. Users write their applications in C++ and compile them against the VR Juggler libraries. We use Java to make cross-platform GUIs that can communicate with the running C++ code. These GUIs may do any number of things. In particular, VR Juggler 1.0 has a tool called VjControl that can be used to do remote runtime reconfiguration of a running VR Juggler application. In VR Juggler 1.0, users do not write any Java code. VR Juggler 2 will have the next iteration on this tool, VrjConfig?. With VrjConfig?, users will have the option of writing custom configuration editors in Java. These editors will plug into VrjConfig? dynamically. Back to: LiveFaq
