Taking Advantage of the Java Deluge
For example, to access the Google Spreadsheets APIs and Tools, you need to download the Java client libraries and all its dependencies. The paths to there Jars must be known to the JVM and can be set through JNIPort. For easy deployment, I put together a single jar using an Ant build script
That's pretty cool - there are tons of Java libraries that connect to tons of things and JNIPort opens up that world to Smalltalk. It's all about reuse :)
