JNI

This project is C++ JNI wrapper which tries to make JNI bearable in the sense of easy to write but also easy to write correctly.

It is not done yet, nor is it close to a usuable state.

Currently only embedding (JNI_CreateJavaVm) has been tested so that is the usecase which definitely works right now. The code should work on all major platforms but I haven't tested on other platforms than Windows (VS2015) yet.

#include <jni/jni.hpp> // include-all header do not use
                       // in production code
#include <iostream>

using jni::java::lang::Class;

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  jni::embedded_vm vm;

  auto cls = Class::forName("java/lang/String");
  auto str = cls.newInstance();
  std::cout << "Class: " << cls << std::endl; // calls Object.toString()
  std::cout << "Empty string: " << str << std::endl;

  return 0;
}
