java.dll is the library containing the Java Virtual Machine. java.exe is the

program you execute to run Java. It uses java.dll. The java.dll can also be used

to invoke Java classes from other languages using the Java Native Interface (JNI), see

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jni/index.html for more information.
