Ilog SA says the TwinPeaks C++-to-Java bridge it is providing for SunSoft Inc’s Java workshop is derived from its existing Ilog Talk interface software. In addition to exposing Java developers to Ilog C++ tools and libraries, the firm says it is readying a Java-enabled version of its Views C++ library and graphical user interface builder using the same technology, claiming most of its users have enquired about Java support. It says TwinPeaks is aimed primarily at applet developers rather than higher-level application components and plug-ins that would be created for use with the Joe Java object request broker. It says a TwinPeaks developer could access Joe services but would have to write its own Interface Definition Language code.
