Using Haxe libraries in Java

[Andy Green]

Is it possible to write a library in Haxe, and then use that library from within Java? Is there any way to make the function in this Haxe class accessible from native Java code?

class main{

    public static function returnString(){

        return "I hope it's possible to call this function from Java!";

    }

}

[Andy Green]

Also, what should I import in order to make the Haxe class accessible to another Java class (as soon as the above Haxe class has been compiled to Java?)

Haxe generates .java files, doesn't it? Of course you can just use them
within Java porjects. It may be little bit cumbersome to adopt the the
Haxe style of enums etc..

I haven't used the Java backend yet, but I expect it to be similar to
the PHP one.

Haxe actually generates multiple Java files. Which package should I import in order to make the generated Java code accessible from an external Java program?

Get Eclipes, add the .class files to your class path, use ctrl-sthift-O
(auto import of classes)

You puzzle me, if you want to code Java, you should know how imorts in
Java work. Why not just have a look at the Main.java file?

In my sample

# D.hx
class D {
}

#Main.hx
import D;
class Main {
static public ...
}

this turns into this java file:

package haxe.root;
import haxe.root.*;
@SuppressWarnings(value={"rawtypes", "unchecked"})
public class Main extends haxe.lang.HxObject
{
public static void main(String[] args)

So looking at code should be all you have to do ?

I figured it out: all I need to do is use an external jar from Eclipse, and then I can access the generated Java classes.
