Connect Mathematica and Processing

in Contributed Library Questions • 8 months ago

Hi at all,

I downloaded a trial-version of Mathematica, and tried to get it connect with Processing.

There is a java library called JLink which should be able to do that.

But I have no idea how to get the library into processing..

In a sample they connect the both by "import com.wolfram.jlink.*;", but that will not work, because there is no library in the processing-libraries-folder.

So I hope you can help me to get the JLink-package into the processing lib.

The package looks like this:

The best way would be to set it up in the same way as other contributed libraries. You should be able to do this by

in the Processing folder create a folder called libraries (ONLY if it does not exist already)
copy the complete JLink folder, not just its contents, into the libraries folder
inside the JLink folder create a new folder caled library
into the library folder copy the JLink.jar file

If Processing is running you need to close it and re-launch it.

Then keep your fingers crossed and select the library with the Sketch | Import library menu option

Hope this works but I can't guarentee it.
