   We've already created jar file toggle.jar containing the 
   the java implementation of the Toggle class.
   Let's see how to compile Nice using classes in a Java jar
   and then how to reference that jar from the executable 
   jar containing the Nice program.

To compile:
   \methcall>nicec --sourcepath .. --classpath toggle.jar -a methcall.jar methcall
   nice.lang: parsing
   methcall: parsing
   methcall: typechecking
   methcall: generating code
   methcall: linking
   methcall: writing in archive
   nice.lang: writing in archive

Create toggle_classpath.txt file with contents
   Class-Path: ./ toggle.jar

Update manifest to include toggle.jar on classpath
   \methcall> jar umf toggle_classpath.txt methcall.jar

To run:
   \methcall> java -jar methcall.jar 10

import java_toggle.*; // Java Toggle class

class NToggle extends Toggle {
    int toggleTrigger = 0;
    int count = 0;
}


activate(NToggle t){ 
    t.count++;
    if (t.count >= t.toggleTrigger){
        t.state = !t.state;
        t.count = 0;
    }
    return t; }


void main(String[] args){
    int n =  nTimes(args);

    var val = true;
    let toggle = new Toggle(true);
    for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
       val = toggle.activate().value();
    }
    println(val);

    val = true;
    let ntoggle = new NToggle(true, toggleTrigger: 3);
    for(int i=0; i<n; i++) {
       val = ntoggle.activate().value();
    }
    println(val);
}


int nTimes(String[] s){
    try { return Integer.parseInt(s[0]); }
    catch (Exception e){ return 1; } }
