Re: linking a java class and a .so library with GCJ

as far as i know, yes. To me, tray.jar is a blackbox, i just create a
TrayIcon object from it, and it does whatever it takes to create the tray
icon on the system it's in.
But i'm not sure at all that it uses JNI or not. Are there other ways to
interface C++ things with java ?

gcj --main=IconDemo -fjni -o netk5_clock IconDemo.java tray.jar
gives :

 gcj --main=IconDemo -fjni -o netk5_clock IconDemo.java

I'm affraid it means i have to find a libtray.so that uses JNI or
something ? Would you happen to know something like this ? Actually i only
want to have my java tray thing run without a JVM (users should install it
as easily as possible, even if they don't have sun's JRE installed). Maybe
i need to switch totally to C++...
