Java News from Wednesday, November 30, 2005

Stefan Palme has released Java for C++, a free-as-speech (GPL) "tool to generate C++-wrapper-classes for existing Java-classes. This tool reads a list of Java class names and creates source code for C++-classes to wrap them. The implementation of the wrapper classes uses JNI (Java Native Interface) to call the "real" Java classes. The C++-API to use these wrapper classes is very close to the API of the original Java classes. So developers of C++-software can use Java-classes as if they have been implemented in C++."
