Mikhail,
You certainly can. Just add System.loadLibrary(<component name>) to the
static initialization block of a class, which declares that method and call
<clinit> for such class.
Example.
----------------------
Component: gcv5.dll
Class, implementing fast path magics: GCv5Magics
Class source:
class GCv5Magics {
static {
System.loadLibrary("gcv5.dll");
}
// ... the rest of magics for GC v5
}
Regards,
Pavel.
P.S. <clinit> is not called for such classes now, but magics are all
something new to add to VM.

All,
AFAIK today I can't add JNI method to a component (em library, gc library,
jit library) and call the method from Java.
Is there any reason why do we have this limitation?
I have only the one, but IMO very serious reason why to allow it: a part
of
a component could be written in Java.
The example is EMThreadSupport.java class. This class is a part of the
kernel classes but this is wrong.
I can't extend its functionality without modification of VM-EM native
interface.
