I've not done AppleScript in Java, but I do code a Cocoa-Java
application in Eclipse that uses the Cocoa classes (com.apple.cocoa.*).
There is not a jar file with these classes in it (that I know of). All
of the .class files are stored loose under the /System/Library/Java
folder.
You can either jar them up yourself and add them to your Eclipse
project as a normal 3rd-party jar, or you can create a class folder to
reference them. There might be a better way, but this is how I got it
to work (Eclipse 3.0):
1. Open Project Properties, go to Java Build Path, Libraries Tab
2. Click Add Class Folder
3. Select your project folder and click Create New Folder
4. Give this new folder a name, I called mine CocoaLib, then click the
Advanced button
5. Check the checkbox labeled "Link to folder in the file system"
6. Click the Browse button, and browse to /System/Library/Java and
click Choose
7. Click OK on all of the dialogs and you should be able to build just
fine.
If you need help or clarification, just let me know, or if someone
knows of a better method, that would be great as well. Since Apple does
not provide proper JavaDocs for these classes, I have considered
manually running JavaDoc against them and jaring them up with their
docs, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Hi,
Recently I tried to call AppleScript from Java using Eclipse.
I noticed that Eclipse did know any path or JAR for com.apple.*,
actually it seems only the extension jars are known.
I tried to locate them and add them with "add path" in the properties
dialogue of Eclipse but to no avail.
Any one tell me how I can add the JAR (..and which one by the way, too
;) ?
Thanks a lot,
Wolfgang.
