Hi @EricRogerGarcia,

In the first place why would you want to run your Processing/Java project in the browser? Is your project too big to convert it to p5.js?

The difficult part of running a Java program in a web browser is that if you use any kind of specific Java APIs or libraries then it might break or you’ll need advanced Maven/Gradle configuration.

If you are starting a new project, just use [p5.js](https://p5js.org/).

You might want to take a look at:
