Java API ported for Node.js

This library provides some of Java's important APIs, like IO/NIO/Child processes, by re-implementing them on top of Node.js libs. So Scala.js users may reduce efforts into Node.js APIs and their type facade.

Goal

Provide core parts of Java APIs, e.g. :

• java.io
• java.nio
• java.lang like (Process and ProcessBuilder)

Non-Goal

This project may not provide the following APIs, or may provide only skelton/stub implementation if needed, since those are considered useless for writing Node.js apps.

• java.applet
• java.awt
• java.beans
• java.lang.annotation
• java.lang.instrument
• java.lang.management
• java.rmi
• java.security
• java.sql
• java.util.jar
• java.util.logging
• Most of javax.* packages

Note

Some implementations and tests are based on Apache Harmony project, not OpenJDK. This is because Harmony uses Apache License, which is very flexible and non-invasive, but OpenJDK uses GPL.

Also some implementations are based on Scala.js to modify them specifically for Node.js.
