From the readme: --- What about additional programming languages? Basically you can use Pashua from any language that is able to: • write a file • call an application with command line arguments • manipulate strings • declare variables dynamically or that supports associative arrays. If you have written some glue code in any language of your choice, please send me your code so that other users can benefit from it. --- But, why bother, when you have the Java-Cocoa bridge? :) Or AWT, or Swing, or SWT, or... This really seems to be more a GUI front end for quick & dirty and "agile" scripts and apps Well, actually, Java could use Pashua. From the readme:

That said, you're right... people don't write (or probably shouldn't write) the kinds of tools in Java that could really benefit from this.

I've used Pashua from Perl. Sadly, I don’t know AppleScript so I can’t help you with this one. I’ve used Pashua from Perl.
