Hi,

I have written a Java program that uses jni in windows.
Now I want to know, if this program is portable and if I can run it in another OS?

Solution 1

JNI is javas native interface and was meant to integrate system specific processes with the java world. Since programs\libraries that are used on one OS can't be directly used on another OS, I would say that you would have to port the library/program from windows to whatever OS you're planning to use.

Manfred
