Plugin passing values to a Jelly Swing display?

["Curtis, Harrison" <Ha...@afscn.com>]

It appears that the best way to execute a jelly:swing is with the
following script:

    <java classname="org.apache.commons.jelly.Jelly" fork="true">
      <classpath refid="jelly.swing.classpath"/>
      <arg value="${plugin.resources}/showProperties.jelly"/>
    </java>

Since in this case the jelly:swing is running in a forked process, how
would you pass the information to be displayed in the script.  The only
thing I can think of is to write out a file in the $(plugin.resources}
folder and let the jelly:swing script read it.  Perhaps one of you can
think of a better way.

I tried to run without forking and I can't keep the GUI up.  It just
flashes and returns to the next plugin statement.  Perhaps one of you
have had that experience and figured out how to get the jelly:swing to
work within the plugin.  The only reason I'm thinking of running without
the fork is to get access to the plugin's variables.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
