Class-generator Tools

Hi all.

I've tried to use "JaWin" and "Jacob" as tools for generating Java code from DLLs.

Unfortunately, I've noticed that none of this projects seem to be updated nor maintaned by someone, though they (jacob, above all) have been useful to me.

What I'm asking is if someone of you know other better (and updated) tools that generate code from dll, and (above all) if any eclipse plugin exists for this purpose.

Hi,You can use J-interop for COM bridge : http://sourceforge.net/projects/j-interop an JNative for JNI bridge : http://jnative.sf.net.--Marc

Marc

thanks for your reply.

If I'm not wrong, both the products you've shown work as Java bridge only for known DLLs (that is the DLLs of the OS).

What I need, instead, is a way to have this bridge built for "third party" DLLs.

Both Jacob and JaWin, infact, had a feature by which Java wrapping code was generated starting from any DLL...

Do you know something about that?

Hi,No, JNative (I'm the main developper of it) can handle any DLL (stdcall C).--Marc

Ok, thanks anyway.I didn't make it clear in my first post, as the code-generating tool is something called "JacobGen", which is based on Jacob, and not Jacob itself.I'm beginning to think that there are not other tools for what I'd like to have...
