Can Rainmeter use java?

[Aucun]

Hello, I'm new to rainmeter and I have a question regarding outside programs. Can rainmeter use the output of other programs to populate information to the screen? For example, if I have a Java program that collects information, can rainmeter then use that information?

If the java application can be made to output to a text file of some kind, then you can use WebParser to parse the file and use the information.

No you can't use a java script to directly drive a rainmeter skin. You can however use Lua Scripting and it is possible to convert many types of java script to lua.

That would work nicely, thanks.

Never used Lua before, but it shouldn't be to hard to learn. I didn't know rainmeter could use Lua scripts, thanks.
