I wanted to be able to declare fields as native, but that was deemed unacceptable.

Has anyone tried creating an unused native method declaration in the class to trigger the native header generation? public native void GenerateNativeHeader(); ??? Is that too ugly?

As Jon put it, for the classes in the base module, "we are delicate bootstrapping ground" so if you add something like "private static native void dummy()" rather than the annotation to the classes in the base module then it could be a solution for the short term. This means the following sources in the webrev:

src/share/classes/java/lang/Integer.java
src/share/classes/java/lang/Long.java
src/share/classes/java/net/SocketOptions.java
src/windows/classes/sun/nio/ch/PollArrayWrapper.java

Also it would be good to remove it from src/share/classes/sun/nio/ch/IOStatus.java too (it got the annotation in the first round).
