JLINK SYMBOL

ConnectToFrontEnd

ConnectToFrontEnd[]
establishes a link to the notebook front end for use by the UseFrontEnd[] function.

Details and Options Details and Options

To use ConnectToFrontEnd, you first need to load J/Link using Needs["JLink`"].
ConnectToFrontEnd returns True to indicate that the link was established correctly, and False otherwise.
The front end will be launched if required.
Although UseFrontEnd will call ConnectToFrontEnd if necessary, ConnectToFrontEnd is provided to allow programmers to conveniently control when the front end is launched and to receive a True/False indication of whether it was successful.
This function will typically be called only from an external program that is driving the kernel, not from code executing in a front end notebook.
