Description

The macro define-java-callers defines multiple Java callers for methods in the same class.

class-name must specify a Java class by its full name.

Each item of method-specs must be a list where the first element is a symbol (the Java caller name), the second element is a string (the method name) and optionally followed by keyword/value pairs for default-constructor-arguments. define-java-callers processes each item by inserting the class-name after the Java caller name, and then using the result as the arguments to default-constructor-arguments:

(define-java-callers class-name

  (caller-name1 method-name1)

  (caller-name2 method-name2))

=>

(progn

  (define-java-caller caller-name1 class-name
 method-name1)

  (define-java-caller caller-name2 class-name
 method-name2)

  class-name
)

define-java-callers is a more compact way to write several methods for the same class, but functionally it is identical to using default-constructor-arguments explicitly.

define-java-callers returns the class-name.
