[Swift-devel] Executing a swift task from Java application

[Allan Espinosa]

Hi Tim,

I use Ruby or Python's templating engines to generate some of my app
tasks that cannot be wrapped around Swift's current constructs.
Templating engines are also useful to generate the sites.xml and
tc.data to take input from a resource monitoring service like OSG's
ReSS.

vdl-int.k in libexec should be a good start.

If you want something lower-level and more fine grained, try playing
around with direct Karajan scripts.
