Jpy Python-Java bridge version

Hi Gary, sorry for this! Unfortunately the standard libraries for Mac OS come in a number of partly incompatible flavours and we only have to two of them here for testing. If your time allows for, you could try building the file itself. (This would also be a great contribution to SNAP!). This is what you would have to do:

  1. Make sure an up-to-date JDK 8 is installed, preferably the Oracle distribution, because this is the one we use in SNAP

  2. Make the JDK_HOME env var points to the JDK installation directory. If this variable is already in use, you can also set JPY_JDK_HOME

  3. Make sure Apache Maven 3 is installed

  4. Then build jpy as follows

    git clone GitHub - bcdev/jpy: A bi-directional Python-Java bridge used to embed Java in CPython or the other way round.
    cd jpy
    python setup.py --maven build

If this succeeds, there will be the file jpy.macosx-10.6-x86_64-2.7.zip in the jpy/build directory. I will then tell you, how to proceed with it.
