Running C++,Assembly,Lisp inline???

Code:

---

Does anyone know what other
languages Java supports to run inline?

I know you can do somthing
like this to run a native method

  public class Native{
    /* the static initializer ensures that the native library
      will be loaded before the methood is called
  */
   
    static{
        System.loadLibrary(NativeLibrarylib);
    }
   
  public void nativeMethod(); //native method protype
  }

Any ideas? comments, suggestions? Dont mind me im just bored :)

Only C/C++. And you should avoid it, because it destroys the crossplatformness of Java.

In what way? If you are calling a native method and you have the library included then i dont think you would run into problems with cross platform issues. Or if you running Assembly in line you shouldnt have probles either, as far a i can see.

Uh, C++ compiled is not cross-platform, and some functions in C and C++ are not cross-platform.

So then what would be the point of Sun enabling developers to be able to use native code if it breaks suns so called "implematation" of pure Java and thus creating cross platform issues?

I used it last year at work to connect to a UNIX daemon process, something Java can't do. It is hard to do and Sun seems to discourage it, but why get rid of a feature? :D

This is true. Just because Java is capable of running on multi platforms does not mean that you are always going to create an app to run on numerous platforms. It might me an "in house" application. So your right.... why get rid of the feature. :p

same thing with part of the System class, it lets you do platform dependand things aswell as independant
