      <subsection name="JNI">

        <p>
        
          JNI is a free toolkit that makes easy work of
          integrating Java and C through the Java Native
          Interface (JNI). It includes a code generator that
          generates both Java "proxy" classes to access C
          "peer" classes, and C "proxy" classes to access
          Java "peer" classes or interfaces. It also
          includes a core library with a simplified JVM
          interface as well as "helper" classes to ease
          working with the JNI data types. The code
          generation is driven by an XML project file that
          can be created with the assistance of the GUI
          Project Manager. The code generation can be
          invoked either from Ant or from the
          GUI. Includes a comprehensive printable PDF User
          Guide and plenty of examples.</p>
