Class LuajavaLib

java.lang.Object
  VarArgFunction
      org.luaj.vm2.lib.jse.LuajavaLib

public class LuajavaLib
extends VarArgFunction

Subclass of LibFunction which implements the features of the luajava package.

Luajava is an approach to mixing lua and java using simple functions that bind java classes and methods to lua dynamically. The API is documented on the luajava documentation pages.

Typically, this library is included as part of a call to JsePlatform.standardGlobals()

 Globals globals = JsePlatform.standardGlobals();
 System.out.println( globals.get("luajava").get("bindClass").call( LuaValue.valueOf("java.lang.System") ).invokeMethod("currentTimeMillis") );
  

To instantiate and use it directly, link it into your globals table via Globals#load using code such as:

 Globals globals = new Globals();
 globals.load(new JseBaseLib());
 globals.load(new PackageLib());
 globals.load(new LuajavaLib());
 globals.load( 
      "sys = luajava.bindClass('java.lang.System')\n"+
      "print ( sys:currentTimeMillis() )\n", "main.lua" ).call(); 
  

The luajava library is available on all JSE platforms via the call to JsePlatform.standardGlobals() and the luajava api's are simply invoked from lua. Because it makes extensive use of Java's reflection API, it is not available on JME, but can be used in Android applications.

This has been implemented to match as closely as possible the behavior in the corresponding library in C.
