- Gluegen
GlueGen is a Java tool which automatically generates the Java and
JNI code necessary to call C libraries from Java code. It reads inANSI C header files and GlueGen configuration files, and outputs C code. AsJNI can be complex, Gluegen simplifies the process of binding Java to C native libraries.It was originally developed for
JOGL , a JavaOpenGL library, although the project has since been separated so it can be used with other libraries. It is currently also used in JOAL, which allows Java code to access OpenAL libraries.Use of GlueGen in JOGL
In the case of
Jogl , GlueGen is not only used to bindOpenGL to Java, but also the low-level windowing system APIs on the Windows,X11 andMac OS X platforms.ee also
