using java jni

[Norman Südekum]

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out a way to start small Java-Programs from within
Labview 6.0.1. Does anybody know how to do this? Every time I use the
call dll-function to invoke the java-jni api Labview crashes. Invoking
Java via the active-x plugin doesn't work either.
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Norman,

Try updating to LabVIEW 6.0.2 to get all of the ActiveX fixes and try the ActiveX method again. (You cannot do this if you only have the Evaluation version.) You can also call java from the System Exec.vi if you do not need data directly back (you can transfer it many other ways: files, TCP, pipes, etc).

Also, see the following:
