Discussion:
[vbox-dev] vboxjmscom.jar version 4.3

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to write some code with VirtualBox sdk: would like to control my
Vbox on a Windows7 machine using Java over COM ("java glue"). To implement
that I need a vboxjmscom.jar-file which exactly matches the version of
VirtualBox I use.
I read that the only way to get it, it's build VirtualBox source code with
following options
CLASSPATH=some_where/jacob.jar
VBOX_WITH_JMSCOM=1
I really hope to escape all the trouble so....is there some other way to
get it? Or is there someone who could share that library with me?
Any help is appreciated!

It needs to match reasonably precisely (i.e. if you want to talk to
VirtualBox 4.3 then don't try with a jar file for 4.2), but an
absolutely correct match shouldn't be necessary.

Huh? There is no need to build the VirtualBox source code to get this
file. It's part of the VirtualBox SDK which is rather easy to get.

The SDK contains sample code which works on all supported platforms and
can serve as a starting point.

Just grab the latest SDK package for whatever VirtualBox release you
want to control. No idea where you found the very outdated information...

Thanks for answer, Klaus!
I'm really sorry but I didn't find the vboxjmscom.jar in SDK package.
I found vboxjxpcom.jar in sdk/bindings/xpcom/java/ but not vboxjmscom.jar.

I guess I need the second one in Windows7 platform, isn't it?

I'd be grateful :-)

Doubt that anyone can share it. I've tried to trigger the build of this
piece of code, and it failed. From the looks this hasn't been built in
quite a while, and there has been some bit rot. Trying to get this fixed
in the next days.

Using the java webservice bindings should be at least a short term
workaround. The webservice can be configured to accept only requests
from the local system, and in the extreme case without any
authentication (i.e. rather similar to vboxjmscom.jar). The whole point
behind the java glue binding is that the same client code can be used
with vboxjxpcom/vboxjws/vboxjmscom (once the latter is working again).
