No, Electron is not involved so far, although it probably would work. On most of our supported platforms we have a "real" Java application talk to JavaScript via a Java-JavaScript Bridge. Similar to what you can do in a JavaFX application with the WebView, but with a nice typesafe API. One of the benefits is that we can make use of the full Java core APIs. The Vaadin example Java presumably is transpiled to js and limited to the very basic Java API GWT supports.

After the last conversation on here that touched on this, and JCEF, etc. I came across this https://github.com/jreznot/electron-java-app and a related blog post. I keep trying to find some time to experiment with Apache HTML/Java and wondered at the feasibility of reworking that Electron example with it?
