  1. Java AWT Native Interface

    Java AWT Native Interface is an interface for the Java programming language Java programming language that enables Rendering computer graphics rendering library computer science libraries compiled to native code to draw directly to a Java Abstract Window Toolkit AWT Javadoc SE java awt Canvas object computer science object drawing surface. The Java Native Interface JNI enabled developers to add platform dependent functionality to Java application software applications . The JNI enables developers to add time critical operations like mathematical calculations and 3D rendering . Previously, native 3D rendering was a problem because the native code didn t have access to the graphic context. The AWT Native Interface is designed to give developers access to an AWT code Canvas code for direct drawing by native code. In fact, the Java 3D API extension to the standard Java SE JDK relies heavily on the AWT Native Interface to render 3D objects in Java. The AWT Native Interface is very similar to the JNI, and, the steps are, in fact, the same as those of the JNI. See the Java Native Interface article for an explanation of the JNI techniques employed by the AWT Native Interface. The AWT Native Interface was added to the Java platform with the Java Platform, Standard Edition J2SE 1.3 Kestrel version. AWT Native Interface steps A complete walkthrough example of this technology is available on Wikibooks see link below . Create a Java application See the Java Native Interface article for an explanation of the code native code keyword computer programming keyword and the code loadLibrary code method.

It reads in ANSI C header files and GlueGen configuration files, and emits C code. As JNI can be complex, Gluegen simplifies the process of binding Java to C native libraries. It was originally developed for Java OpenGL JOGL , a Java OpenGL library, although the project has since been separated so it can be used with other libraries.

  1. Java Virtual Machine Tools Interface

    Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface JVMTI, or more properly, JVM TI was introduced in Java Platform, Standard Edition J2SE 5.0 Tiger . This Interface computer science interface allows a computer program program to inspect the state and to control the execution of applications running in the Java Virtual Machine JVM . JVMTI is designed to provide an Application Programming Interface API for the development of tools that need access to the state of the JVM. Examples for such tools are debugger s or profiler computer science profiler s. The JVMTI is a native interface of the JVM. A library, written in C programming language C or C , is loaded during the initialization of the JVM. The library has access to the JVM state by calling JVMTI and JNI Java Native Interface functions and can register to receive JVMTI events using event handler functions that are called by the JVM when such an event occurs. JVMTI was defined through the Java Community Process by JSR 163. The JVMTI replaces the JVMPI Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface and the JVMDI Java Virtual Machine Debug Interface . The JVMPI and the JVMDI are declared as being deprecated in J2SE 5.0 and were removed in Java SE6. JVMTI is the lowest level of the Java Platform Debugger Architecture .

It consists of two distinct packages, Tcl Blend and Jacl. Tcl Blend Tcl Blend is a Tcl extension that makes use of Java Native Interface JNI to facilitate communication between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Tcl Blend is typically used to load a Java interpreter into an existing Tcl process, so that functionality implemented in Java can be accessed in a Tcl script. For example, one could allocate a Java object in a Tcl script and interactively invoke Java methods on the object. One can also load Tcl Blend and Tcl into a Java process, which adds scripting functionality to an existing Java application. Because Tcl Blend is a normal Tcl extension, one can use it with other popular Tcl extensions like Tk, Expect, and Itcl . Jacl Jacl is a self contained implementation of a Tcl interpreter, written entirely in Java. Jacl also includes features that facilitate communication between a Java interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. Jacl is typically used to incorporate Tcl scripting functionality into an existing Java application, without dealing with the complexities of native code that come with loading Tcl Blend into a Java process. JTcl, a fork of Jacl, was released on November 17, 2010. One of the main goals of JTcl is to continue the modernization of Jacl that began with the Jacl Modernization Project in the Google Summer of Code GSOC 2009. ref http jtcl.kenai.com faq.html JTcl FAQ ref See also C Tcl Itcl Java programming language Java List of Java scripting languages Tcl Tcllib References Refimprove date September 2010 Reflist External links http ...   more details

The project was instigated and is primarily used by researchers in high energy particle physics . As of 2011, the projects seems dormant, with last recent news on the project homepage dating from 2005. The goals of the AIDA project are to define Abstraction layer abstract interfaces for common physics analysis objects, such as histograms , ntuple s or Tree data structure data trees , fitters, I O etc. The importance of the interface concept is that a variety of different tools with different implementations can all support a uniform interface this encourages modular design in data analysis packages and enables users to use their preferred implementation of a certain functionality without having to re write existing code. An additional benefit of AIDA is the specification of an XML representation format for data objects, which can be written and read by AIDA compliant applications. AIDA implementations exist for C , Java programming language Java and Python programming language Python . Usage of AIDA interfaces can be found in the Geant4 examples.

They operate with IPCs in groups of four craft with some groups totaling 25 30 craft combine to form IPC units, which are based at strategically important locations around the island. The IPC squadrons are organised for rapid reaction interception operations, because the Sea Tigers Sea Tiger cadres were able to remain hidden until they decide to confront the SLN. To maximise the amount of firepower each squadron can bring to a battle, an IPC unit would speed towards the enemy using strategies that echo infantry tactics an arrowhead formation is used to expand each boat s arc of fire in an attack manoeuvre, or boats are arranged in three adjacent columns in single file so as to mask their numbers and increase the SLN s element of surprise. ref name jni http www.navy.lk index.php?id 1198 Sri Lanka learns to counter Sea Tigers swarm tactics, JANE S NAVY INTERNATIONAL , Jane s Information Group ref See also Special Boat Squadron Sri Lanka Special Boat Squadron 1 Assault Group Royal Marines Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School NAVSCIATTS Special Warfare Combatant c ...   more details
