Hi Tom!

Thanks for your reply.

Now, for the first version or forever? I thought more than one VM
should be able to run at the same time.

i recognized it with
jni.h:
extern jint JNI_CreateJavaVM (JavaVM **, void **, void *);

http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/jni/spec/invocation.doc.html#15956
jint JNI_CreateJavaVM(JavaVM **p_vm, JNIEnv **p_env, void *vm_args); 

but i don't know, if this web site is the correct reference.

There are also a lot of entries missing in JavaVMInitArgs, see
http://www.javasoft.com/products/jdk/1.1/docs/guide/jni/spec/invocation.doc.html#633
even if we won't do anything with them, they should be present to
allow compilation of foreign code without trouble.

Bye,
Martin.
