Can you use a java library in a Dart application?

Question

I started working through the Dart tutorials this week and have been pretty impressed with the language, tools, and capabilities. However, I'm still learning the language.

I'm considering writing a server-side application with Dart and would like to import an existing java library and leverage its classes and methods. Is this possible?

I haven't seen any references or samples indicating that this is a valid use case.

Your thoughts and answers would be appreciated.

Answer 1

No, it is not possible. Dart and Java are different languages that both run in their own VM.

You can however invoke java via the Process class.

There is also a Java to Dart plugin that is in an experimental phase.
