I note this SO question from Rich Apodaca:</div><div> </div><div><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/440302/how-to-cross-compile-java-source-code-to-javascript">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/440302/how-to-cross-compile-java-source-code-to-javascript</a></div><div> </div><div>which has led me to various options:</div><div> </div><div>- GWT (google's toolkit)</div><div>- Kotlin (JVM language)</div><div>- JSweet (uses Typescript)</div><div>- Java2Javascript (used by Jmol)</div><div> </div><div>However, I'm sure there are others. I will try and experiment with some of these - starting with JSweet - and will put the results on github. What I'm likely to try is just some simple vector editing written in Java and cross-compiled to JS.</div><div> </div><div>One initial problem is that to get everything into the browser, you have to cross-compile all the code (including CDK code) and all dependencies to JS. Not sure how possible that could be. An alternative might be to have a thin JS client with the view model and a servlet maintaining the domain model.</div><div> </div><div>Let me know if you have other ideas, or forsee any problems..</div><div> </div><div>Gilleain</div></div>,<p>------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most<br />engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! <a href="http://sdm.link/slashdot">http://sdm.link/slashdot</a></p>,<p>_______________________________________________<br />Cdk-jchempaint mailing list<br /><a href="mailto:Cdk...@li...">Cdk...@li...</a><br /><a href="https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cdk-jchempaint">https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/cdk-jchempaint</a></p></blockquote><div> </div><div> </div><div>-- <br />Regards,</div><div>Konstantin</div><div> </div>
