I am trying to create a libXXX.jnilib for use with a Java program under JDK
1.4 CodeWarrior 8 and Mac OS 10.3.4.
The JNI lin will act as a layer for a Carbon native C++ shlb. Unfortunately
I could not manage to compile the JNI sample in CodeWarrior examples.

I have looked in various threads in the newsgroups. My summarized questions
are:

The JNI project should have a Mach-O library target?
How do I add the Carbonised shlb in the JNI Project? Just drag-n-drop?
Should I choose BSD headers or MSL headers?
What version of SDK is appropriate? Developers/SDKs/MacOSX10.2.7SDK/ or
something else? (and possibly change Apple's Limits.h ?)
The VM should be Apple or JDK 1.x?

Thnx
Byron

Java on Mac OS X exclusively uses the Mac OS X default of Mach-O
binaries. CFM/PEF is for Mac OS 9 and legacy compatibility.

You'd have to use the standard mechanism to get your Mach-O jni lib to
call your legacy PEF lib.

I'm not certain about the other CW - specific questions. I'd recommend
that you should investigate moving your toolset over to XCode.

What target should be used when building the original Carbon shlb in X?
When I add it to the Mach-O JNI project, although it does not complain,
the Linker at the end complains with "can't load data". I compiled the
Carbon shlb using carb.r. Is that correct or do I need the plst
resource?

Thx
