Since AppleEvents are not straight forward in Java 1.4.2 for communication between Applications (same machine), what is recommended for communication between a Java application and a carbon application ?

In what way are AppleEvent's "not straight forward" or suitable for communications?

The one example that Apple gives (AESendandReceive) for AppleEvents will not work in 1.4.x. because it uses JDirect which is only supported (and available) in 1.3.1, not 1.4.x. Except for the JDirect part, the native methods it calls are appropriate for 1.4.2, but instead of using JDirect you will need to use JNI.

I have thus far created 3 simple JNIs to emulate MJR classes. I think that I have 3 more JNI's to create. The trickiest will be MethodClosure.

I thought this should have been easier because the OS X documents recommend AppleEvents.
