JNI

Background

Oh boy! We get to mess around with JNI. This is some really cool stuff but it can also be a bit crazy to work with. I've included a brief tutorial to get you up and running on the CS machines. Unfortunately getting it up and running on your home machine using your favorite SDK is not straight forward and will require you to do some neck bearding of your own.
