BEWARE: This project hasn't been maintained since 2015. An effort to refresh it (and JNAerator) is ongoing (Nov 2022) and 0.8.0-SNAPSHOT contains a sneak peek of it, with no guarantees.
BridJ is a Java / native interoperability library that focuses on speed and ease of use.
It is similar in spirit to JNA (dynamic bindings that don't require any native compilation, unlike JNI), but was designed to support C++, to be blazing fast (thanks to dyncall + hand-optimized assembly tweaks) and to use modern Java features.
A comprehensive documentation is available on its Wiki.
It was previously hosted on ochafik/nativelibs4java.
Note: the Wiki is being refreshed.

- Build for Sparc Solaris https://hub.docker.com/r/netcrave/sparcsolaris
- Try armel vs. arm32v5
- Rebuild for Android, cmake-style
- Factor some cruft into cmake helpers
- CI w/ all the cross builds (use upload / download artefact github actions)
Separate ARM / x86_64 builds on Darwin (link w/ ARM JDK https://jdk.java.net/archive/), or scripting to create fat libjvm.dylib and libjawt.dylib- Update pom to make it independent from nativelibs4java-parent
- Update deps: ASM 5.x, JUnit 4.11
- Fix BridJ's armhf support
