Using JavaNativeFoundation.framework with embedded OpenJDK7?

[Tobias Bley (UltraMixer)]

Two more questions:

1. You say "OpenJDK relies on JNF": Does it mean OpenJDK requires the  /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks/JavaNativeFoundation.framework and it doesn't work without it?

2. Why don't you build JNF as "standalone" framework which everbody can include in his Java Application (like Sparkle do)? Or why don't you make a dynamic library for inclusion instead of the current sub framework?

Mike, so currently there is no chance to use your JavaNativeFoundation helper classes to build Java Applications uses a bundle OpenJDK jre (for submission in AppStore)?

Best regards,
Tobi

It wrote a jnilib for accessing Cocoa components but my problem is that this library is linked to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Frameworks/JavaNativeFoundation.framework.
