Unless you start calling JDK functions, you will not make a program less stand-alone by including jni.h. In this case, you will only use a compile-time definition.

Ideally, we should have had more general EXPORT definitions separate from the rest of the JNI code, but someone started doing things that way, and well, here we are, 25 years later and now JNIEXPORT is everywhere in the JDK source base. :( I'd say that access to JNIEXPORT is about 50% of the reason jni.h is included...
