jvm: Call any JVM function from Haskell

This package enables calling any JVM function from Haskell. If you’d like to call JVM methods using Java syntax and hence get the Java compiler to scope check and type check all your foreign calls, see inline-java, which builds on top of this package.

Example

Graphical Hello World using Java Swing:

{-# LANGUAGE DataKinds #-}
{-# LANGUAGE FlexibleInstances #-}
{-# LANGUAGE MultiParamTypeClasses #-}
{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Data.Text (Text)
import Language.Java

newtype JOptionPane = JOptionPane (J ('Class "javax.swing.JOptionPane"))
instance Coercible JOptionPane ('Class "javax.swing.JOptionPane")

main :: IO ()
main = withJVM [] $ do
    message <- reflect ("Hello World!" :: Text)
    callStatic
      (classOf (undefined :: JOptionPane))
      "showMessageDialog"
      [JObject nullComponent, JObject (upcast message)]
  where
    nullComponent :: J ('Class "java.awt.Component")
    nullComponent = jnull
