By running System.loadLibrary("myAPI"), I verified that the DLL file "myAPI.dll" can be successfully loaded into my Eclipse Java project. Now I need to call methods specified inside this DLL file from my Java code. To do this, I added JNA to my Java project. Then I wrote the below-given code snippet that should be able to get instances of classes IProject and ProjectFactory (specified in the DLL file).
I still don't understand how to properly implement this with JNA. I checked different threads, e.g. this one, but the ones I checked don't provide an answer. Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks.
import com.sun.jna.Library;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
public class MyClass {
public interface myAPI extends Library {
//...
}
void LoadProj() {
myAPI api = (myAPI) Native.loadLibrary("myAPI",myAPI.class);
String fileName = "xxx.sp";
IProject project; // this is wrong but shows what I am trying to do
try {
project = ProjectFactory.LoadProject(fileName);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
MessageBox.Show(this, ex.Message, "Load failure");
}
}
}
