Tutorial : Beginning JNI with NetBeans C/C++ Pack 6.0, Part II, Linux

This tutorial takes you through the creation of a sample application that uses Java^TM Native Interface (JNI) code written in the C programming language. For the part of the application written in the Java^TM programming language, you will use NetBeans IDE 6.0; for the part written in the C programming language, you will use NetBeans C/C++ Pack 6.0.

You will start off by creating a simple Java project, adding a native method to it, and then implementing this method in C using NetBeans C/C++ Pack 6.0.

Expected duration: 30 minutes
