v1.0.6856.22995

Release date: 9 October 2018

New features and improvements

Being one of the most used programming languages, we have now integrated Java into our product in the form of some new activities. This new addition to our ever-growing pool of languages enables you to invoke your already existing Java code directly from UiPath. The Java activity package features six new activities and a proprietary variable, JavaObject, that help you harness the full power of Java into your automation projects:

• Java Scope - Initializes a specified Java library and provides a scope for Java Activities. All Java activities must run inside a Java Scope.
• Load Jar - Loads a Java Library Package file in the current Java Scope for subsequent actions. A method can be invoked only after its respective class library is loaded.
• Invoke Java Method - Invokes a specified Java method from a .jar loaded in the Java Scope. The result is stored in a JavaObject variable.
• Convert Java Object - Converts a JavaObject into a .NET primitive data type. Only primitive .NET types and Arrays of primitive .NET types are supported.
• Create Java Object - Creates a JavaObject variable from a class by using the builder specified in the TargetType property field. The class must be defined in the .jar supplied in the Load Jar activity.
• Get Field - Returns a public field from a specified JavaObject variable or from a public static field inside a class.

The moment is finally here - the entire UiPath Platform has been localized, so that you can have a truly immersive experience, from install to design and execution. Now, besides English, you can access everything, including our online documentation, in Japanese.
