idldepend is a task that (re)generates Java sources to be=0A= created from CORBA/IDL files.

=0A= =0A=

It parses the IDL file and determines the Java files that=0A= must be generated, taking in account the modifications that=0A= can happen due to command line parameters. If any of the Java=0A= files are missing or older than the source IDL specification,=0A= it launches the specified compiler.

Optionally supports localization by segregating Java+=0A= strings into ResourceBundle files with invarient keys based=0A= on the hash code of the strings's value. This is handled=0A= automatically and transparently; no intervention is=0A= required.
Fast. Negligible impact on build times. By default,=0A= skips inputs whose outputs are up to date to avoid=0A= triggering recompilations.
Pure Java code, portable to any platform, with=0A= graphical, shell and ant interfaces.

=0A= =0A= JNI is a free toolkit that makes easy work of=0A= integrating Java and C through the Java Native=0A= Interface (JNI). It includes a code generator that=0A= generates both Java "proxy" classes to access C=0A= "peer" classes, and C "proxy" classes to access=0A= Java "peer" classes or interfaces. It also=0A= includes a core library with a simplified JVM=0A= interface as well as "helper" classes to ease=0A= working with the JNI data types. The code=0A= generation is driven by an XML project file that=0A= can be created with the assistance of the GUI=0A= Project Manager. The code generation can be=0A= invoked either from Ant or from the=0A= GUI. Includes a comprehensive printable PDF User=0A= Guide and plenty of examples.
