Transparent Java standard extensions with native libraries on multiple platforms

Java programs that utilize standard extensions with native libraries are problematic since the extensions are platform dependent. We present general methods that make such programs runnable on multiple platforms in a way that is transparent to the user. We show a detailed example for standalone applications, Web Start programs, and applets with a specific such standard extension. Categories and Subject Descriptors D.3 [Programming Languages, Language Constructs and Features]: Modules, packages General Terms Languages Keywords Java, native libraries, multiple platforms
