Most people getting started with JavaScript these days are faced with the challenging task of picking a library to use, or at least which one to learn first. If you're working for a company chances are they have already chosen a framework for you, in which case the point is somewhat moot. If this is the case and they've chosen MooTools and you're used to jQuery, then this article might still be of some use to you.

The idea of JDojo is to bring JavaScript and Dojo to Java. To achieve this, JDojo provides Java stubs for existing Dojo and JavaScript types a compiler participant to the Eclipse Java compiler that emits JavaScript files for each Java file compiled The programmer does not program against the Java JDK classes, but against Dojo and JavaScript stubs that JDojo provides. The compiler participant only allows a subset of the existing JDK classes and also limits the Java language constructs that can be used. To support important features that exist in JavaScript but are not available in Java, JDojo provides Java annotations that the programmer can use to instruct the compiler how to translate code. While the compiler still produces class files, what is of interest is the JavaScript code. Only the generated JavaScript code is executable, the Java code is not. Contrary to Java-JavaScript cross compilers, JDojo does not add anything on top of the JavaScript and Dojo types. JDojo programmers program against the DOM, Dojo widget and other existing Dojo classes the same way as they would do it when programming JavaScript. Therefore, the Java code a JDojo programmer writes looks very similar to the JavaScript code he would have written. However, the programmer now can take advantage of a typed programming environment and benefit from the Eclipse Java Tooling. The translator produces JavaScript that looks as similar as possible to the Java code (without the types), and matches what a JavaScript programmer would have written. This is important when executing and debugging the generated JavaScript; it is still easy to understand the JavaScript code and map a bug back to the Java code. JDojo also fits nicely in the existing Jazz web bundles. JDojo code is placed in a new Java source folder, while the generated JavaScript is inserted in 'resources' folder that also holds existing JavaScript code. To use existing JavaScript code in JDojo, 'Stub' classes can be added, containing only th

"SHJS is a JavaScript program which highlights source code passages in HTML documents. Documents using SHJS are highlighted on the client side by the web browser. SHJS uses language definitions from GNU Source-highlight. This gives SHJS the ability to highlight source code written in many different languages: Bison C C++ C# ChangeLog CSS Desktop files Diff Flex GLSL Haxe HTML Java Java properties files JavaScript JavaScript with DOM LaTeX LDAP files Log files LSM (Linux Software Map) files M4 Makefile Objective Caml Oracle SQL Pascal Perl PHP Prolog Python RPM spec files Ruby S-Lang Scala Shell SQL Standard ML Tcl XML Xorg configuration files SHJS comes with themes taken from the Highlight program. SHJS is distributed under the GNU General Public License version 3. "

" I did some digging to see what people had previously built, but the landscape was pretty bleak. The only one that I could find was one made by Erik Arvidsson - a simple SAX-style HTML parser. Considering that this contained only the most basic parsing - and none of the actual, complicated, HTML logic there was still a lot of work left to be done. (I also contemplated porting the HTML 5 parser, wholesale, but that seemed like a herculean effort.) However, the result is one that I'm quite pleased with. It won't match the compliance of html5lib, nor the speed of a pure XML parser, but it's able to get the job done with little fuss - while still being highly portable."
