JNIWrapper 1.4 for Windows and Linux

There have been no Linux releases for a long time. Also, prior to version 2.0 for Windows release that will follow shortly, it was decided to make a good ending of 1.x versions chain. A new version of JNIWrapper 1.4 is released for both Windows and Linux.

JNIWrapper for Linux has now gained all the features previously added to Windows versions.The major reason why JNIWrapper for Windows was released as version 1.4 is to keep it synchronized with the Linux version. However, a number of changes has been recently made to the Windows version as well. For more details, check What's New in JNIWrapper 1.4.

Some nice features previously planned for 2.0 were added to version 1.4. One of them is a new ability of JNIWrapper to work inside WebStart application. Do not miss our Online WinPack Demo, which you can view without requesting any license keys.

Some new features requested by our customers are added to WinPack library. Check the WinPack page for details.

Updated JNIWrapper API documentation is available online.

JNIWrapper 2.0 Beta with Java-COM integration available!

Today the JNIWrapper Team is proud to present the Beta release of JNIWrapper for Windows version 2.0.

From now on, the JNIWrapper for Windows is more than just JNI bridge. JNIWrapper 2.0 enables you to use Microsoft COM components in your Java applications.

Our goal is to provide developers with an easy-to-use capability to integrate virtually any COM/ActiveX object and control its properties as if it is a pure Java object. The bi-directional access also allows accessing Java objects from COM as if they were COM components. For even more ease, we provide our code generation utility that helps you generate java sources for COM, OLE, and ActiveX classes or components by given class identifier using JNIWrapper COM Bridge classes.

Please check the WinPack Demo program where OLE Container added allowing to embed OLE/ActiveX objects into Java applications and control them via the Automation class. The example allows opening and viewing PDF and Video files inside the Java program.

Your feedback on this Beta version is highly appreciated. Please use our support or feedback facilities to contact developers if you have questions or suggestions regarding this new release.

JNIWrapper for Windows version 2.0 Beta is now available for download and evaluation only. Commercial release of version 2.0 is scheduled by mid-September, but the final date will depend on user input and feedback.

Registered owners of Version 1.0 will receive a Free 1.1 Update as well as all subsequent 1.x updates in the future.

We are glad to announce that the Beta version of JNIWrapper for Linux 1.0 is now available for evaluation. You can download JNIWrapper for Linux, evaluate it free of charge during 30 days and submit us your comments. By the time your trial version expires, JNIWrapper for Linux will be sure available for purchase.

NOTE: To prevent failures caused by memory access violations on the native code side, JNIWrapper for Linux employs the signal chaining feature available in JDK 1.4.x. Therefore, JNIWrapper for Linux requires JRE 1.4.x.

We consider development of a version that would run on JRE 1.3.x if there is a demand for that. If you need such version, please send your requests to jniwrapper-support@teamdev.com.

Do not forget to visit us every now and then for the updates of Linux version documentation, which will be published in the nearest future.
