Moving to nan

[jsdevel]

@joeferner I rebased the use-nan branch so your changes now appear on top of the latest. Let me know if this causes any issues for you.

It looks like memwatch ~0.2.0 is currently failing the node 0.11 build in travis. This PR has an update for it to use nan: lloyd/node-memwatch#56

[joeferner]

Other than memwatch it looks like the nan branch works with v0.10.29 of node. I wonder if we should either remove memwatch since it's only used in integration tests or we could use the pull request's git url which is discouraged.

My vote is removing the memwatch dependency.

[jsdevel]

@joeferner I'm down with removing it.

[jsdevel]

memwatch removed.

@joeferner Can you take a look at this? https://github.com/joeferner/node-java/blob/use-nan/src/methodCallBaton.cpp#L67

I have a feeling the scope is getting cleared when the callback is called, thus erasing the value. This only happens on 0.11. Everything else is compiling fine.

[joeferner]

After switching MethodCallBaton to use NanAsyncWorker it looks like it works on 0.11 and 0.10 for me.

[joeferner]

Are we ready to merge the use-nan branch?

[jsdevel]

Looks like we are with a passing build!

[jsdevel]

@joeferner use-nan is merged with master now. I bumped to v0.4.0. Can you publish?

[joeferner]

Awesome this is really great. @jsdevel thanks for all your help.

[jsdevel]

My pleasure. I feel like I learned a lot about v8 so I appreciate the opportunity!
