I'm interested in embedding a Prolog interpreter in Java. One option is using JPL, but the download links on the JPL site are broken, and the installation page mentions a jpl.zip that I can't find. I downloaded SWI-Prolog which seems to include JPL (it lists it as a component when installing), but I'm still not sure how I'd use it along with Java.
Any ideas on how to use JPL on Windows? Is there another library I could use to achieve the same thing? I've come across a few but they don't seem as stable as JPL.
JPL is no longer an additional download, so you don't need jpl.zip. If you download SWI-Prolog, it will install the necessary files. In comparison to the structure of jpl.zip shown in the installation notes, you'll find it now looks like this:
C:\Program Files\Prolog\
+--- doc\packages\examples\jpl
| +--- Exceptions
| +--- Exceptions2
| +--- Family
| +--- Test
| +--- Test2
| +--- Time
| +--- Zahed
| +--- (and maybe more...)
|
+--- bin\jpl.dll (a native library - for Windows in this case)
|
+--- lib\jpl.jar (a Java library)
|
+--- library\jpl.pl (a Prolog library)
|
+--- doc\packages\jpl\index.html (JPL's documentation "home page")
