Where does Java.type come from

So I noticed Java.type mendtioned here: Possible to use JJS to run Java code in Javascript?

Where does it come from?
Where is it documented?

Could not find anything here:

Are there more “undocumented” methods available?

Node comes with its own java bridge API, I’m guess I should not use it?

I would like to do something similar to:

github.com

hosseinprince/part-jdbc/blob/master/lib/jdbc.js

/* jshint node: true */
"use strict";
var Pool = require("./pool");

function JDBC(config) {
  Pool.call(this, config);
}

JDBC.prototype = Object.create(Pool.prototype);
JDBC.prototype.constructor = JDBC;

module.exports = JDBC;

Java.type is not an undocumented Enonic method, it is part of the core Nashorn Java API: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/scripting/nashorn/api.html

So I’m guessing Nashorn is what Enonic XP uses then?

Yup, looks like it:
