NativeZ - JNI Binding Library

This is a C link library and Java base class which can be used to help implement libraries which use the Java Native Interface (JNI).

It provides a base class for native objects which provides automatic (and manual) reclaimation, and a shared library for easy access to these and other JNI utilities.

Status

Most of it should be quite stable. A version of it has been used for some time in multiple production applications software for a common proprietary platform.

The main output is a .jmod which contains the base class and a shared library of utilities.
