Google announced a new open-source tool intended for developers with the release of a translator to convert Java source code to Objective-C source code. The new tool, named J2ObjC, means developers can include Java code in the build process for an iOS application. Ideally, developers will write their non-UI code in Java, functions like data access or application logic, and then share it with the target system’s build. Google indicates the new tool will work with popular build tools Xcode and Make.
As Google explains on their open source blog, J2ObjC is not an emulator but instead converts Java classes to Objective-C classes that can then be used in the iOS Foundation Framework. With full Java 6 language support and most runtime features, this should make it easier for developers working on applications intended for multiple platforms.
