Calling Java from C++ code

Hi,

I want to compile legacy source code in C++ with Java. I would like to call java from C++. Can you point me to any documentation or know how? I will be using the java 1.6.x standard edition.

Thx

You're looking for the Java Native Interface (JNI).

This works both ways. It lets you wrap c code in Java classes and lets you invoke the JVM to let you use Java code in a c program.

Hope this helps.
