hxRhino preview (Haxe on JVM)

[ben kuin]

hi

why?
------
Because I wanted to learn more about Haxes backends
Haxe for JVM

what?
--------
It's a simple patch to the existing haxe tree
It is a complete separate project though
So it won't mess with your haxe installation

how?
-------
in order to install hxrhino, on the command line:
   wget http://lekin.org/files/dump/2010/hxrhino/hxrhinoinst.sh
   chmod 0755 hxrhinoinst.sh
   ./hxrhinoinst.sh

this will install:
   /usr/local/hxrhino/
   the command 'hxrhino'

example?
--------------
get examples:
   wget http://lekin.org/files/dump/2010/hxrhino/examples.tar.gz
   tar xfvz examples.tar.gz
   cd examples

compile with hxrhino:
   hxrhino compile.hxml

compile to java class
   export RHINO_HOME=~/usr/local/rhino
   java -cp $RHINO_HOME org.mozilla.javascript.tools.jsc.Main test.js

run it:
   java -cp $RHINO_HOME test

Test.hx:3: Hello World !

Awesome! 

Will definitely try it!

Can't wait to see haXe goes to Java and Android!

Didn't give it a try yet, but looks great :)

Last year I started such experiments with JS/Rhino/Java.
My goal was to allow writing Red5 apps in haXe.
I managed to get a few simple examples to work, but globally it was a
bit of a mess and I left this project.
As soon as I have some time I should at least put these experiments somewhere:
there was basically a little script that converts Java/javadoc xml
class definitions to haXe externs, and a custom Red5 Adapter class.

just for fun, Swing with Haxe :-)


import packages.javax.swing.JFrame;
class Swingtest {
   static function main() {
   var frame = new JFrame("Hello Haxe")  ;
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   frame.setSize(200,200) ;
   frame.show();
   }
}

Hi

It looks like there is an error in your hxrhinoinst.sh script at line 28 :
/usr/local/hxrhino/haxe/std
should be
/usr/local/hxrhino/std
At least I had to change it to make it work (Ubuntu 64 10.04)...

Hi ben

I can't compile this example :
./Swingtest.hx:1: characters 0-35 : Class not found : packages.javax.swing.JFrame
I guess it needs haXe extern classes for swing.
Are these available for download somewhere ?

Hi Ben,

That looks very interesting. I've had a look at Rhino myself but one thing that struck me is that it internally adds a feature to javascript that's not native to it: overloading.

How will we be able to use the full Java library as Haxe does not support overloading? We can't just create 'extern' classes.

I guess the same problem must be one of the things that's holding back the Haxe Java target.

Regards,
Bas

[ben kuin]

thanks for the feedback and sorry, if something doesn't run. Right now
I'm not working on hxrhino. I'm investigating to target scala or even
java. There are already a couple attemps from other people and I
think/hope I'm able to come up with something usable in the next
weeks.
