The key to integration between Java and C/C++/VP is the JNI, Java Native
Interface. It is formally a part of the Personal Java spec. This
provides a mechanism to move back and forth between Java and other
environments, i.e, Java can call C or VP or vice versa.
Normally a class is built within Java which uses JNI to call code
outside of Java. This provides a clean interface for the Java code to
use. On the other side of the coin, hopefully, qcallable tools could be
built to access the Java side of the house. Even a VP macro could be
built to easily do this directly from VP. Again a clean interface for
the native Amiga side. The SDK book does not explain how to do this,
but hopefully it is documented elsewhere in the SDK.
