Hmm, well my program is a C++ program. So the main function must be C,
not java. I am only using CNI for a small piece of code that sends
output over the network as java objects so it can be processed by a GUI
written in java.

I think I can rearrange this code so that any new threads are created in
java. But that would still require at least one java object to be
created by the main thread in C, and that java object can take care of
creating the other threads. Is that at least supported? Or are you
saying the example program in the Invocation section of the manual is
not even supported and the invocation interface is not usable yet?

So far this code has been working in most versions of GCC so it seems
like something must be supported.
