What is JUniversal?
The vision of JUniversal came from some guys at Nokia who possess considerable expertise both in Java and in building cross-platform apps. They built this tool to provide an elegant way to translate source code and make it useful across multiple platforms. JUniversal offers you the freedom to write your shared code in Java and then translate it to C# (available now) or to C++/Objective C++ (coming soon). You can also combine JUniversal with Google’s j2objc translator to translate Java to Objective-C for iOS.
JUniversal is a tool in the Cross-Platform Mobile Development category of a tech stack.
JUniversal is an open source tool with 126 GitHub stars and 15 GitHub forks. Here’s a link to JUniversal's open source repository on GitHub
