Compiling Java plugin

[mcrandall]

I've been writing plugins in AS3, but now we're required to use java. When I try to compile a java file, i.e. the pluginpublicmessage, I get all sorts of errors regarding the location of the imports. I know there is some need to copy some jar files, but where to and which ones? And do I need to set some of my environment vars to point to them?
Thanks

Have you tried Server-side Development Environment (http://www.es-wiki.com/index.php?title=Server-side_Development_Environment) yet?

ES4 does allow ActionScript plugins. Java plugins are preferred, but the ActionScript ones work too. Hello World Plugin Tutorial (http://www.es-wiki.com/index.php?title=Hello_World_Plugin_Tutorial) gives an example of making a plugin both ways (first Java and then the same plugin with ActionScript).
