https://gluegen.dev.java.net GlueGen is a newish project on Java.net, which generates Java and C to wrap any existing native library for which you have a .h file It's been used to create the interface to OpenGL used by JOGL, which works great If you've got an existing compiled DLL and the corresponding .h file, it will generate code for a Java wrapper class, through which you have access to all the DLL methods C structs become generated Java classes, etc This can really speed up the process of getting access to existing native functionality, without oneself having to write the C/C++, create a DLL or whatever, etc This would be an easy win for NetBeans in simplifying at least one aspect of JNI development
