  JAVA NATIVE INTERFACE (JNI)

 =========================================
       Click here for details on JNI 
 

JDK 1.1 introduces the Java Native Interface (JNI), a standard
native method interface that can be supported by all Java Virtual
Machines (VMs). The JNI provides a VM-independent binary interface
to allow the same native code library to run on different VMs on
a given platform. The JNI also includes an Invocation API that
enables native applications to load and run the Java VM from a
shared library.
