Question 1

How do I generate a simple class using Jitescript?

Accepted Answer

Add the Maven dependency from the quickstart, then refer to the JiteClassTest example in the source code, which demonstrates defining classes and methods with the fluent API. For basic usage, mimic those patterns to create and load classes dynamically.

Question 2

Is Jitescript better than ASM for bytecode generation?

Accepted Answer

Jitescript provides a higher-level, fluent API that is easier for common tasks, while ASM offers more low-level control for advanced optimizations. Choose Jitescript for simplicity and readability, but ASM if you need granular bytecode manipulation.

Question 3

What Java versions does Jitescript work with?

Accepted Answer

Jitescript aims for JVM compatibility, but the README doesn't specify exact versions. Since it generates standard bytecode, it should support various JVMs, but you may need to test compatibility with newer Java features like modules or records.

Question 4

Where can I find more examples or tutorials for Jitescript?

Accepted Answer

Beyond the JiteClassTest, public examples are scarce. The project relies on its test suite, so exploring the source code and tests is the best way to learn advanced usage and patterns.

Question 5

How do I get help if I run into issues with Jitescript?

Accepted Answer

Support is primarily through the #dynjs IRC channel on Freenode, as mentioned in the README. For bugs or feature requests, you might need to engage with the community there or examine the source code directly.

Question 6

Can I use Jitescript with Gradle or other build tools?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it's available on Maven Central, you can add it to Gradle, SBT, or other tools using the provided groupId, artifactId, and version from the quickstart section. Just include the dependency in your build configuration.
