Using the IGC Libraries and API in Java |
If your plugin has been created using Java, you must include the following files and libraries with your plugin:
- IGC_java_classes.jar, which is located in the java subdirectory of the directory in which Chameleon is installed;
- IGC_java.dll, which provides the interface to IGC.dll for Java plugins, and is located in the directory in which Chameleon is installed;
- IGC.dll, which is located in the directory in which Iguana is installed.

When you are running a plugin in Java, if you have the wrong version of the IGC dynamic library on your system, you may see an error message similar to the following:
For more details on this error message, see Language-Specific Iguana Communication Library Error Messages. | |||

An API is provided to enable your plugin to interact with the IGC libraries. To view the reference documentation for this API, follow this link: Overview (iNTERFACEWARE Java Stubcode). Click the link to the com.interfaceware.iguana.plugin package to view the API for your plugin.

If you are creating a 64-bit plugin on Windows, you must add the directory in which your 64-bit version of Iguana is installed to your PATH environment variable. In this environment variable, this directory must appear before the directory in which Chameleon is installed. You must also retrieve the IGC_java.dll and IGC_java_classes.jar files from the 64-bit Chameleon Runtime Environment. (See Installing the Chameleon Runtime Environment for more details on this environment.) If you are running Iguana on Windows, you have created a 32-bit plugin to interface with 32-bit Iguana and you upgrade to the 64-bit version of Iguana, be sure to save a copy of the 32-bit version of IGC.dll and ensure that your 32-bit plugin refers to it. This will allow you to continue using your 32-bit plugin with 64-bit Iguana. A 32-bit plugin will not work with the 64-bit version of IGC.dll that is included with the 64-bit version of Iguana. | ||
