Hi - I apologize in advance if this is not the appropriate forum for my question.

I am trying to understand whether the Oracle jdk port of 1.7 supports gui scripting using applescript. I have created a mac os x app via the app bundler from Oracle and the app itself works fine but (with assistive devices enabled in System Preferences) I cannot access the gui elements of the app from applescript even though the application seems to be recognized (eg with if process "app name" exists). Anyone had experience with this?

You might want to check the archives for Apple java-dev list. As I recall there was limited gui scripting through the accessibility(?) a pi's. But it was never talked about much and I never tried it myself.
