Re: how can an apple script get parameters (when invoking it from the java code)?

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

String exec = "osascript -e 'run script posix file \"/tmp/summer.scpt\"

with parameters {4,5,6}'";

That string will work as a shell command-line, but it won't work as an arg

to Runtime.exec().  Runtime.exec() is not a shell; it does not understand

quoting.  It always breaks a String into cmd-line args at whitespace.

Instead, use the String[] form of exec(), with each param in its own String:

  String[] cmdArgs ={ "osascript", "-e",

    "run script posix file \"/tmp/summer.scpt\" with parameters {4,5,6}" };

  Process process = Runtime.getRuntime().exec( cmdArgs );
