Request for comment on the Java implementation embebbed in Arma 3
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Java scripting is already in the engine, although incomplete and seems abandoned. ( for security concerns?) I'm requesting an official comment on the status of the Java implementation. The only comment on was about ten years ago and given that Arma 3 is reaching the end of it's life with Arma Reforger released and Arma 4 confirmed. I would like to know if the Java scripting has been abandoned?

Wow - never knew it was planed to include actual Java into A3 - it could had offered so much more than what SQF was ever able to accomplish.
Unfortunately we ended up with the very limited extension stuff (although string-only exchange got us quite some cool game modes nonetheless).
As for Reforger/A4 and it's C# inspired scripting: at least for now it still lacks the ability to either connect to a database directly or at least for the server to have something similar to the extension stuff to write an external connector.
