The Java Application Programming Interface, or JAPI for
short, has been developed by Merten Joost. This package
allows for building user interfaces with languages that
are not object-oriented (such as C or Fortran 77).

We have ported JAPI (version 1.0.5 r 2)
(see http://www.japi.de) to the matrix programming language
Ox created by J. A. Doornik
(see http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/Users/Doornik/).

With the Ox package 'OxJapi', you can add a Graphical User
Interface to your Ox programs in a very simple way. The Ox
code is platform-independent, i.e. the same Ox program can
be run on Unix and Windows without modification.
