Does jni work?

[Martin Kahlert]

Hi Tom!

I tried your patch, but it didn't work.

I debugged a while and came up with the appended patch (only the patch to
URLClassLoader.java has been added, your's is unchanged).

Without this change, we will try to load 'java/io/PrintStream' but defineClass
wants 'java.io.PrintStream'.

After this patch, i came a bit further but got stuck in this:
./sample
Hello, Java

I inserted print statements into jni.cc (_Jv_GetJavaVM) but it seems, that
this function isn't even called. So perhaps the stack trace is misleading.

How is the JNI mechanism supposed to work? Where is GetStaticFieldID implemented?

Thanks for all your help,
Martin.

I compile using: 
gcj -C sample.java 
gcjh -jni sample
gcc -shared -fPIC -o libsamplenat.so sampNat.c
gcj -fjni -o sample --main=sample sample.java
./sample

The (hopefully corrected) sources are attached.
