JNA (Java Native Access) is the good and easy answer to the JNI(Java Native Interface). Those who find it cumbersome to to call C, C++ DLL functions using JNI, then JNA is for you. The project is hosted at https://jna.dev.java.net/ . Here is my first encounter(experiment) with the JNA. Problem: I want to call one DLL function in Java program Solution: The first thing that comes into my mind is JNI, coz I heard a lot about it whenever something "native" has to be called in Java. Just while surfing for the more information on basic JNI programming, I came across the JNA project/api and find it interesting to give it try. Here are the basic two things you need to have in order to use JNA 1) JNA api JAR file (jna.jar): Download it from here 2) DLL which you want to call in your Java program Now this may be the big thing for a guy who haven't worked on VC++, DLL, MFC etc things. So here is the quick link about how to create the DLL http://www.icynorth.com/development/createdl...
