Can Electron apps be integrated with java code?
I made something similar, Java back-end with Electron GUI.
You can do it in more ways, it depends on what you need.You can create a jar file and then execute it like terminal:

Or you can open a socket communication and talk on a Port. (A lot of documentation:Java (web)socket - Node.js client.io)
In this second way, you can do everything you want, but you have to create your communication protocol.
Your path is not foolish, I am very satisfied of the communication and usage in my work with Java + Electron .
