There are people who've posted in this thread who already knew what it was after i told them, I'm nto answering anymore guesses because they'll end up abusing that knowledge and letting it all loose too early..
As for beta testing this was mainyl to see who would eb commited to it, beta tests wotn eb thsi week ro next week, rather people sign up now and if they're still interested after a week or two then hehe they get their hands on something spiffy, pretty, and extremely useful piece of gadgetry.
Afterall I do have an exam on teusday, then the 2 weeks after I have 8 exams so there will be a natural slowdown in dev speed, hence why I aint running at lightspeed aiming for a v1.0 at the end of next week........

.NET has good marchalling and native function calling support, but only for C style API's. Java probably has the same kind of support, but when it comes to C++, both runtimes fail because there is no C++ ABI.
I've been trying to get a C++ <-> mono binding system lately, which deals with the same problems :/
You can use SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) for generating wrapper functions though...
tually the simplified wrapper interface generator seems to be doing no simplifying at all for me, on the contrary it's confusing and muddling up to a great extent.
I am working from Java to C++, working in C++ to Java would be a spanner in the works. Trying to udnerstand SWIG and revise for a maths exams going to be a nightmare os I wont bother. SWIG requries knowledge I simply dont have, aswell as a lot of the reasons i ditched tolua for luabind when experimenting with lua.....
I have a java class jdll.class, I have a DOS prompt open at the folder javah was installed to, I know my command starts with javah and will probably have the word jdll somewhere in it. I've tried to running just javah and reading the help bit to which I get no results, just error messages about syntax or missing parameters I thought I had defined........................
works fine here... generates a java_lang_Object.h which seems to include a bunch of C style wrapper functions, plus it #includes a jni.h which seems to include a bunch of C/C++ functions for creating/attaching to /detaching from/destroying java VM...
I have alot of very recent experience in java, and I think I can remember a little C++, but I haven't coded anything in it for at least a year. I would be happy to help you with whatever it is you need help with, but I'm really more of a novice programmer. The most sophisticated program I have ever made is a game of asteroids for java....if that is any indication of my level of skill.
ll a game of asteroids is something i couldnt do, I'm mostly drawing on skills from C++ and reading through the documentation at java.sun.com on swing.
Thanks to tobi I solved my problem with javah, now I just ened to find good JNI documentation.
Although I have an exam tomorrow then a whole string of them next week so you'll all have to wait a litte longer...
