I'd like to use JNA to call the Carbon APIs on the Mac. (OS X 10.3

I'm stuck on two items currently and would like some advice.
#1) What Native.loadLibrary() call is needed to get Carbon which
(with my
brief use of Mac) doesn't seem to have an equivalent of dll
or so.
"Carbon" (which is found in /System/Library/Frameworks/
Carbon.framework/Carbon).
#2) The Win32 had lots of good utility classes, but I don't know if
they are there
on the Mac side. For example to call user32.dll in Win32
this seems to be the
best way.
public interface GCP_User32 extends StdCallLibrary{
What would be the equivalent for Carbon? Would the following work?
Is "extends NativeLibrary" below correct or is there a Mac
equivalent of
win32's "StdCallLibrary"?
All libraries extend com.sun.jna.Library, although technically this
isn't absolutely required.
You should also look at http://rococoa.dev.java.net, which provides
for accessing ObjC libraries on OSX.
BTW, recent JVMs provide a java.awt.MouseInfo class (since 1.5) which
you can use to query the pointer location.
