And the JNI code may need to be tweaked for your particular OS. Whereas I think JNA comes with pre-compiled libraries for most OSes. The more I think about it, the less I like the idea of using JNI. Not because of the native code per se, but because of the number of different OSes that potentially need to be supported. We cannot even release source for a specific OS unless it can be tested on it. Given that other people have already done the work for JNA for many more OSes than we are likely to be able to call on in Commons, why not use JNA? > Gary >> >> > Regards, >> > Benedikt >> > >> > [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CRYPTO-45 >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
