JavaRock is a project to develop a compiler from java to vhdl, which enables hardware design by java.
Developping JavaRock is over, and the project continues in Synthesijer http://synthesijer.sourceforge.net .
Like JavaRock, Synthesijer also aims to develop a compiler from Java to VHDL, which enables hardware design by Java. In addition, Synthesijer generates Verilog HDL and aims to implement advanced features such as optimization, graphical tools, and so on.
