I understand that in Windows environment the citation push function

Any solution for this would be helpful to people who are forced to
stick with Windows environment.
What interface does Jabref use? Pipe or Socket?
What I understand about this is that JabRef simply writes out the
citation entry to a file named "lyxpipe.in". The code segment is like:
.....
final File lyxpipe = new File( Globals.prefs.get("lyxpipe") +".in");
.....
try {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(lyxpipe);
BufferedWriter lyx_out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
String citeStr = "";
citeStr = "LYXCMD:sampleclient:citation-insert:" + keyString;
lyx_out.write(citeStr + "\n");
lyx_out.close();
} catch (IOException excep) {
couldNotWrite = true;
return;
}
.....
My question is: How LyX goes the receiving? Any code segment example?
The solution is "just" to replace our handmade socket (or pipe) layer
with a portable one.
It should not be very hard to implement even for a newcomer in the LyX
project. If someone's interested, come&see us at the devel list :-)
Another solution for you James is to use Enrico's mixed windows/cygwin
version. Could you confirm that it works Enrico?
Abdel.
If I was not wrong, it did not work in cygwin!
