I think we are on the same page here.

Maybe I am missing something, but why should the Java compiler care
about whether or not something is native or not?  That is, why should I
care about a stub implementation?  I can't connect this to my real
implementation because it would not get routed to JNI at runtime.
(Or am I still missing something?)

I guess that where I am going is that I would like to see a way to have
the 'native' declaration in the methods that need it, but what I hear you
saying is that this choice is up to me as a VM designer.  Is this correct?
If so, then this "kernel" portion of the class library needs to be specific
to the VM.  Right?

Thanks,


Dan Lydick
