Interacting with Java Libraries in Lucee 6.2

We are just getting around to Lucee 6.

Thank you thank you thank you thank you!

I spend almost all of my time integrating with third-party systems. We already use maven to populate the libs folder and then either write things in java and bundle them into a jar or end up using Java in Lucee with all the unnecessary boilerplate.

Before that it was using Java loader and having it autoload entire firectori a if jars that we downloaded.

This is beautiful and simple and I’m so happy about it. Thank you!

I feel like so much of java functionality these days comes from annotations (or packages as annotations). Using the exact same annotations in a component would be ideal instead of you all having to add them into the language as attributes. I think this probably enables that although not as natively as would be preferred. I would LOVE to use @controller and @service etc. I guess we can do that now? this is amazing. I have not played with it but I will soon. Thanks. I can’t wait to build with this!
