+The <em>luajava</em> library implements a few functions which allow access to most classes

 <h3>LuaJava</h3>
 The luajava library is used to easily bind to Java classes via reflection.
 It is patterned after the original <a href="http://www.keplerproject.org/luajava/">luajava project</a>.
 
+Because J2ME does not contain a reflection API, this library cannot be made to work on J2ME,
