05/05/2020, 8:55 AMI have a Java (JVM) library that I would like to use in my native code. What is the best way to call JVM functions from native? Do I have to use JNI to make it work. Or is there a better solution?

05/05/2020, 9:07 AMBecause we are creating a Windows app that is relying on the WIN32 API and we already have a couple of C interops set up. We have the problem that a client wants a specific Java library that is not available for native. It wouldn't make sense for us to port the whole project to JVM just so the client can use that one library.
