You can take a look at https://github.com/j4ts, which contains some Java libs transpiled by JSweet to TS/JS. The AWT/Swing implementation is just a proof of concept, but some other libs are fully functional like awt/geom.

However, you have to be aware that the initial purpose of JSweet was not to port all Java libs to JS. JSweet allows the transpiler to be customized (with extensions) to map Java APIs to JS ones so that you don't necessarily need a JS runtime. It's all explained in the "Extending the transpiler" section of the core doc: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet/blob/master/doc/jsweet-lan...

We used a lot GWT with UI frameworks like dominokit or Vaadin. There is another transpiler not mentioned before: https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet It has better JS ecosystem integration and some library ports. I never used it, but it worth to try.

Well, you can, in theory use any language if you transpile it - that way, you'd end up using a single language across the stack (even if you're technically using JS). An example of this would be JSweet.

TheVirtual FTC simulator team is looking for FTC team members or alumni who want a programming challenge. We want your help adapting jsweet https://www.jsweet.org/ to transpile Java code to JS. Programmer will be working on automatic translation of Java to Javascript. Experience with both Java and Web development is ideal.

Definitely worth a look thank you! On another note, I've experimented successfully with https://www.jsweet.org/.

I look forward to getting back into front-end if I can do it in Java only (which can be done today) ... and not be looked down upon by frontenders, the CSS tricks designer crowd and the highly vocal JavaScript crowd.

One, I don't understand Java environments really well. All I have done so far is create some GUI applications using JavaFX. Wish I could share my code, but unfortunately, its part of my assignments and can't be open-sourced. Second, the instructions I found in the Contributing docs were bare-minimum, and kinda hard to follow for a beginner. An experienced Java developer would get them really quickly, no doubt about that.

JavaFX (an open source, next generation client application platform for desktop, mobile and embedded systems) has many useful out the box UI controls to build modern interactive desktop apps. These include buttons, checkboxes, list views, labels etc, that can be configured and styled in countless ways. I’ve using them for many years at work building mapping apps!

As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that the 4 part webinar actually sets up a lot of it. By this point, you should have installed: your IDE (I used intellliJ), the Java SDK, downloaded the JavaFX file here(that you'll manually add into your project structure), and the MySQL connector J file.

JavaFX works well with Kotlin if you're looking for an imperative toolkit. Just add this plugin in your build.gradle to import it.

You could also download the JavaFX modules separately from https://openjfx.io/
