Re: [qftestJUI] Can qftestJUI be used under this situation?

[Kevin Duffey <supreme_java_guru_1@?.com>]

Gregor,

Thank you very much for the reply. I just want to be
sure I understand... can the jython script actually
access the JPanel (or other JComponent) object?
Actually, a better question is, can jython be used to
access any of our internal API's, for example, can I
write a script that accesses a class with some static
methods that is not part of the canvas itself?

The big question, not sure I asked this right, but for
those areas that can only be recorded via
absolute/relative positions, is there any way to write
java code that can be executed as part of the script,
such that I can have a library of java coded
procedures (methods?) and insert them into the script
at certain points. The way I would like to see this
work is that I can record the normal stuff, menus,
dialogs, etc. Then, at the point where I need to
automate the canvas, I can call to a java coded
routine that can directly access any of the code being
tested (anything public that is). Is this possible, if
so, how?

Thanks.
