Introduction

This repository contains a set of simple projects to experiment with Java interacting with native code.

A blog post describing this project can be found on my https://lofthouse.dev site.

Projects

This repository uses the following projects:

• simple-library - A simple C library installing both a static and a dynamic variant.
• simple-c-app - A simple C app linked to the simple-library, the build can be configured to use either the static or the dynamic variant.
• simple-jni - A simple Java project with two defined native methods.
• jni-library - Minimal dynamic library, implementing the generated header from simple-jni to call the library from simple-library.
• simple-foreign - A simple Java project calling simple-library directly using the new foreign functions APIs.
