JNA provides Java programs easy access to native shared libraries (DLLs on Windows) without writing anything but Java code no JNI or native code is required. This functionality is comparable to Windows' Platform/Invoke and Python's ctypes.

JNAerator (pronounce "generator") simply parses C and Objective-C headers and generates the corresponding JNA and Rococoa Java interfaces (it also has a very limited support for C++). This lets Java programmers access native libraries transparently, ...

Dynamically loads bundled native libraries based on the current runtime platform and system architecture.
