Java Module

(added in 0.60.0)

Functions

generate_native_header()

(deprecated in 0.62.0, use generate_native_headers()) (removed in 1.0.0)

This function will generate a header file for use in Java native module development by reading the supplied Java file for native method declarations.

Keyword arguments:

• package: The package of the file. If left empty, Meson will assume that there is no package.

generate_native_headers()

(added in 0.62.0) (deprecated in 1.0.0, use native_headers())

This function will generate native header files for use in Java native module development by reading the supplied Java files for native method declarations.

Keyword arguments:

• classes: The list of class names relative to the package, if it exists, which contain native method declarations. Use . separated class names.

• package: The package of the file. If left empty, Meson will assume that there is no package.

Example:

// Outer.java

package com.mesonbuild;

public class Outer {
    private static native void outer();

    public static class Inner {
        private static native void inner();
    }
}

With the above file, an invocation would look like the following:

java = import('java')

native_headers = java.generate_native_headers(
    'Outer.java',
    package: 'com.mesonbuild',
    classes: ['Outer', 'Outer.Inner']
)

native_headers()

(added in 1.0.0)

This function will generate native header files for use in Java native module development by reading the supplied Java files for native method declarations.

Keyword arguments:

• classes: The list of class names relative to the package, if it exists, which contain native method declarations. Use . separated class names.

• package: The package of the file. If left empty, Meson will assume that there is no package.

Example:

package com.mesonbuild;

public class Outer {
    private static native void outer();

    public static class Inner {
        private static native void inner();
    }
}

With the above file, an invocation would look like the following:

java = import('java')

native_headers = java.generate_native_headers(
    'Outer.java',
    package: 'com.mesonbuild',
    classes: ['Outer', 'Outer.Inner']
