Create RPG Procedure from Java Class/Methods

[thomprl]

This is just an idea and probably not a lot of interest to others. In RDi you can create a RPG Procedure from a Java JAR file/Class/Method.

You basically locate the JAR file, then the package, then the Class. One limitation of RDi is it only allows you to pick one method at a time. It also imports any dependencies which is also kind of annoying if you have multiple methods as it imports duplicate methods and it has to be cleaned up.

Sounds like a good idea to me!
It would not fit in the RPGLE extension I guess, just because we may not want to include a JVM with it to be able to dig into Java's bytecode to extract the classes information - but it would make for a cool side project (or specific extension). We could rely on an existing Java installation though... Let's keep it in mind 😉
