JNI in Eclipse, or …?

Thread view:

Hi all,

Does anyone have experience with managing JNI C files inside his IDE? I
use Eclipse, so would prefer a solution for it, but maybe another IDE
handles this better.

I posted a specific question about setting this up to the groups
eclipse.tools.jdt and e.t.cdt on news.eclipse.org, but wanted to ask
here more generally: how do you manage JNI projects?

Thanks for the feedback.

Also: is it possible to step into the JNI functions with a debugger?
Either the Java one or the C one. (Again, preferably the Eclipse
built-in debuggers, but any other will do.)

I suggest you just believe me that I need JNI, unfortunately.

Cheers, H.

I think that:
- two independent projects
- a C project that creates a dll/so/exe
- a Java project that uses that and creates a jar
would be the way to go.

Possible combined with a non-IDE final build (make & ant).

Thanks.

Do you intend the Java-created jar to include the C files/library as well?

There are several good suggestions in this thread, especially in Chris
Uppal's second post (number 6 in the thread):
