How to setup interactive books using Java

[cagix]

I would like to use interactive executable Java examples in my interactive books/presentations. Can you give me some tips on how to do this? I've searched the documentation and there are even examples for C and Prolog, but I'm not clear on how to integrate interactive Java examples. Thx!

Hi Carsten,
take a view on LiaLiveExample. I built a 'HelloWorld' example for Java.
Best wishes.

Thanks for this example, it looks really promising!

Am I right that this example is running server-side? I.e. if I were to embed it in my lecture notes and the students were to "download" it as a PWA, it would stop working, right?

Is there a way to define the JDK version and possibly use additional libraries?

Hi,
no, the "format" of a liascript course does not affect coderunner's functionality. But an internet connection is required to reach our instance at TU Freiberg. Feel free to deploy your own service - a short explanation is given in the last section of the README.md.

If you need some special libraries, they can be added here:

https://github.com/LiaScript/CodeRunner/blob/3382620c7d60e169758062cbc0146f07b63ed95c/Dockerfile#L30

You can either create a pull-request with your libraries, or simply tell us what you would like to add ;-)

Thanks a lot! As far as the libraries are concerned, I don't have anything specific in mind yet, but who knows what will come up in the preparation phase. However, I already know that I will need a JDK 21 (LTS).
