There is a new version of BSF4ooRexx available on sourceforge:
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsf4oorexx/files/beta/20120526/> with accompanying Java
documentation (in form of zip-archives).

New features to test:

configuring an ooRexx interpreter instance from Java (e.g. adding paths, extensions, command
handlers, exit handlers),
implementing Rexx command handlers in Java,
implementing Rexx exit handlers in Java,
making a subset of the ooRexx APIs directly available to Java implemented Rexx command handlers
and Rexx exit handlers that allow e.g. to get/set Rexx variables etc.

After installation of this package (just follow the readme in "readmeBSF4ooRexx.txt") you may want
to check out the new samples highlighting/demonstrating these new features in "samples/Java/handlers".

Documentation of these rather low-level ooRexx features are given best by the ooRexx programming
guide "rexxpg.pdf" itself. In addition these new features are documented in an article matching the
2012 International Rexx Symposium talks and which can be retrieved from the BSF4ooRexx-menu
"information" starting with this beta.

Please direct questions to the BSF4ooRexx mailing lists (although I will monitor also the ooRexx
list) at <https://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=400586>.

If you find problems/bugs, then please file them with the BSF4ooRexx bug tracker at:
<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=400586&atid=1660873>.

Please note, if you are an author or have access ot applications written in Java/NetRexx: which
possess command window interfaces for users to type commands (like editor commands, database
commands and the like) to the Java/NetRexx applications, then please consider to add Rexx subcommand
handling support by exploiting these new features! It is very easy, simple, but adds a lot of power,
the Rexx way ...
:)
