Java Support by JavaCPP or swig ?

Hello , it will be great if any java wrapper will be avalible on unigine

 

There are 2 easy integration techniques for java

1-) JavaCPP: This is great framework.Because JavaCPP is not just converting java to JNI , it can also work on RoboVM.

RoboVM is framework for Java that supplies IOS code over Java.

 

JavaCPP provides efficient access to native C++ inside Java, not unlike the way some C/C++ compilers interact with assembly language. No need to invent new languages such as with SWIG, SIP,C++/CLI, Cython, or RPython as required by cppyy. Instead, it exploits the syntactic and semantic similarities between Java and C++. Under the hood, it uses JNI, so it works with all implementations of Java SE, in addition to Android, Avian, and RoboVM (instructions).

 

JavaCPP produces code that has *zero overhead* compared to manually coded JNI functions (verify the generated .cpp files to convince yourself). Moreover, at runtime, the `Loader.load()` method automatically loads the native libraries from Java resources, which were placed in the right directory by the building process. They can even be archived in a JAR file, it changes nothing.

another solution is swig.

But swig is not efficient as JavaCPP

 

 

With that way it will be very easy to make java wrapper for unigine.

Thats just my idea.

I hope it may help you for something.

We have no plans regarding Java wrapper.

It can be implemented in same way as C# wrapper does.
