Ah, so since Scala Native is not built on the JVM you can't just take a pre-existing Java library and make it interop. You need it to be real Scala. The only options then are to use a convertor or manually port the library from Java to Scala?

Yep, or drop the dependency. E.g. For joda specifically, you should probably move to Java 8 date API, which is more likely to be ported.

Bare in mind that scalajs has the same issue and a lot of work has already been done!
