PrefaceOverview of This Manual

The AR System Scripting Plug-In for Java allows you to access utilities and services through an embedded Java Virtual Machine (JVM) as a part of standard filter processing. You specify Java code fragments and input arguments, the plug-in evaluates and executes the code, and you specify how the workflow handles return values.


Note thatthis is not a JavaScript plug-in. The code interpreted and executed by the plug-in is in the form of Java code fragments. JavaScript is another language in its own right.
