Java Abstraction for Ethereum Smart-Contracts.

Goal: To onboard Java Developers into the Ethereum Ecosystem by allowing the building of smart contracts in Java.

Abstract:

Currently, there are 200,000 Solidity/Ethereum Developers (Worldwide (source: TrustNodes) ) and 7.1million Java Developers (Worldwide (source: Daxx) ) respectfully thus allowing Smart-Contracts to be built in Java would help onboard a plethoric number of developers into the Ethereum Ecosystem.

Note: This project started as a focused version of the New ERC Token with an overall goal of bringing more developers into the Ethereum ecosystem.
