Java GPIO on Edison

[Nick_K_]

I was wondering if anybody was working on porting or creating a version of MRAA for Java.  I know I've seen Java run on the Edison with ease (I've been able to load Apache Tomcat on it myself), but it would be great to exploit Java as the developer language to be able to work with the GPIO.  There are similar libraries available for ARM based SoC devices like the The Rasp Pi (Pi4J) and the BBB (libbulldog).  

Thanks!

Thanks for asking. As of now I am not sure of anything about Java as such. I will pass the request to developer team.

I guess you are asking for libmraa as well as for UPM libraries, right?

While I'm sure they would be of great use to others, my projects won't leverage the UPM libraries.  

Thanks!

Looks like somebody in the community has already wrapped the MRAA into a library they are calling mraa4j.  

I've been playing around with it this afternoon and it actually seems to be doing everything as expected for my projects (PWM, GPIO, and UART).
