Can Haml be used in Java web apps?

Question

I hear about Haml as a templating engine mostly in the Ruby world. Can it also be used in Java projects?

Answer 1

HAML is dependent on Ruby. I know there is a Python clone of HAML, not sure about Java.

Although, SASS/Compass are language agnostic.

Answer 2

Perhaps through JRuby?

Answer 3

There's a list of Haml implementations on the Wikipedia page. At the moment, there isn't one for Java.

Answer 4

It seems someone started a project for Java.

Answer 5

planning to add HAML support in JPublish. It will use JRuby.
