I checked, and it's true that osascript params is only 10.4 +

So if summer.scpt is in /tmp ...

String exec = "osascript -e 'run script posix file \"/tmp/summer.scpt\" with parameters {4,5,6}'";

and exec that in your java. like

Runtime.getRuntime().exec(exec);

Clearly, you can substitute the params in that string.

launch your applscript with osascript eg

osascript summer.scpt 4 5 6

now, if your summer.scpt looks like this:

on run args
set sum to 0
repeat with x in args
set sum to sum + x
end repeat
return sum
end run

the output of the script (stdout) is 15

so you'd have to parse the output line to get that value...

caveat: I think that arg passing with osascript came in with 10.4 - it may not work prior to that. In that case, you might want to do a bit of inline osascript use with -e

Hi all,

How can I pass parameters to an appleScript while invoking it from the
java code, and how can I read their value inside the appleScript?

Thank you all for your advises!
