WebKit is the main place where we do this. By convention, all methods in WebView impl classes that are named `fwk*` are called via JNI from native code. Outside WebKit we have a handful of cases. I hope they are all documented. As for an annotation, we wouldn't define one for JavaFX. If the JDK had some sort of `@UsedByNative` annotation (which would be the converse of `@Native`), we could consider using it. Unless / until we have such an annotation, a clear comment is in order. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jfx/pull/1824#issuecomment-3164805775
