Is it possible to use Ceylon classes in a Spring Boot application? What would that look like - the Ceylon classes as a separate dependency, or could they be in the same project?

I've got a particularly knotty Java problem that would really benefit from reified generics and an absence of type erasure. However, the main reason I'm writing it in Java in the first place is because I want to exploit a Java library for interacting with a thing. I don't want to learn any more Ceylon than is necessary for solving the problem, if at all possible.

Ceylon integration with java is really smooth, you can use all the springboot stack and use java classes and even libs (maven) without problems, I have a small project ceylon with springboot using Discovery, Gateway and microservices that you can use as example. Its not documented yet but if you know about springboot then I think its enough as start point for you. I hope it's enough , otherwise I am available to help.

  • Its working/using ceylon from current development, I didnt try with 1.2.2 release.
