The new CodeGeneration package provides routines to translate "numeric" Maple procedures and code, such as expressions, lists, arrays, rtables, and lists of equations, to Java code. This new package also contains improved versions of codegen[C] and codegen[fortran]. You now have several options to choose from when translating Maple code to Java, C or Fortran code that provide greater control over how analysis and translation of types are performed. Maple 8 has extended the external linking capability with the ability to link to static Java methods.
