Run GWT Generated Code in Nashorn

GWT is a very useful tool to compile Java code into JavaScript.

Nashorn is Oracle's new JavaScript implementation which runs JavaScript scripts in Java.

In order to run JavaScript server-side code within a Java server I now want to make an extensive GWT library available to this JavaScript code.

For this I need to load code generated in GWT into a Nashorn engine.

This is not very easy since the load process of GWT libraries includes various 'hacks' which involve the DOM.

I don't know yet how I am going to do this exactly. I found the gwt-node project. This project is meant to run GWT code on Node.js.

I think by working with the custom linker developed there (GwtNodeLinker.java) I might be able work something out.
