Linux and Solaris allow that. If JNI support works this > should be possible. Maybe he just needs native threads? Is it ? Well, this is the first I've heard of it. Is this how the plugin works in Netscape and other programs ? Uh, you can't really call the normal IO functions, read()/write(), etc... without it piping through the thread system in some way. If it's green threads, then any function like that the coexistent program uses must go through that layer of thread-managed wrapped functions and not the normal functions in libc, etc... I'm not sure of the linking conventions off hand so I don't know how to export those wrapped functions to a companion program. Is this what you mean ? bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
