Make a Plug-In

[Zero Tolerence]

I have about 20 Java .class files that I am currently using to do various tasks outside of filemaker. Does anyone know if its possible to compile these into a plug in?

If so can someone point me in the direction of some information for this? 24U has some good info on the subject, but thats about all I can find.

If not, would I have to write the plug in features in another language? (C++/Codeworrior)?

Here is a company that has an API for creating java plugins:

Outside of this you would have to run the java programs with a command line interface, and do I/O with stdin stdout (with the help of the shell plugin)

I can call them fine, its just a bit annoying to have to install all the .class files on every computer, not to mention Java SDK on windows. Thanks though, I'll check out that website.
