+The Tcl/Java project's goal is to make integrating the Java platform and the
+Tcl scripting language as easy as possible. The project actually consists of
+two distinct packages, called Tcl Blend and Jacl. It is important to
+understand what each package provides and in what situations one might choose
+to use Jacl or Tcl Blend.
+
+Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that makes use of JNI to facilitate communication
+between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Tcl Blend is typically used
+to load a Java interpreter into an existing Tcl process, so that functionality
+implemented in Java can be accessed via Tcl. One can also load Tcl Blend and
+Tcl into a Java process, which is a great way to add scripting functionality
+to an existing Java application. Because Tcl Blend is a normal Tcl extension,
+one can use it with other popular Tcl extensions like Tk, Expect, and Itcl.
+
+Jacl is a self-contained implementation of a Tcl interpreter, written entirely
+in Java. Jacl also includes features that facilitate communication between a
+Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Jacl is typically used to incorporate
+scripting functionality into an existing Java application. For users who want
+to avoid adding any native code to their Java applications, Jacl is the ideal
+solution.
+
+Tcl Blend and Jacl define both a Tcl API and a Java API that make it easy to
+call Java code from Tcl or call Tcl code from Java. For example, one could
+allocate a Java object in a Tcl script and interactively invoke Java methods
+on the object. It is also easy to use the supplied API to evaluate a Tcl
+procedure from a Java method or implement Tcl procudures in Java. The flexible
+API and wealth of implementation options provided by the Tcl/Java project make
+integrating Tcl and Java easy.
