  1. Hello Zhour Renjian. Good work!. I think you missed an important (for me) feature introduced : the window[“j2s.object.native”] . When I find free time, I will write an article regarding this new j2s modality and comments about working with native objects from java code

    Regards

    I would like to say, nice webpage. Im not sure if it has been addressed, however when using Firefox I can never get the entire page to load without refreshing alot of times. Could just be my modem.

    I haven’t used Java2Script. Looks interesting. Could you port something like JFreeChart to JavaScript? That would be really useful! I know that there are a lot of JavaScript and HTML5 charting libraries out there, but JFreeChart is very mature, feature rich, etc.

  4. Zhou Renjian says:

    @John Carlson
    It seems that JFreeChart requires graphic context heavily. Java2Script is still week on drawing. So there is no Java2Script JFreeChart in the near future.

    @Sebastián Gurin
    OK, I will remember to enable window[“j2s.object.native”] in the next release.
