Filemaker Crashing

[IT Heroes]

Hi,

I have been trying to make a plugin that launches a Java window and then keeps it open. Then this Java window and filemaker can interoperate (filemaker can modify the window by calling scripts and accessing the window stored in a static variable and the Java Window can use the fmpro object to work with filemaker).

It seems to generally work ok, but it is unstable and filemaker crashes after a little while.

Are there any rules to using the fmpro object? Should this be only called while performing a script in filemaker and not stored and used?. I noticed all the provided scripts that use a GUI pause FM and wait for it to exit rather than keeping on running.

So I guess what I want to know is am I wasting time going down this path, or should I be looking at a different way of doing what I want?

Also, is there a way to increase the java heap size used?

Side note: It would also be great if you could embed it as an applet in a web viewer :.
