I Timothy and all,

Having an automatic header converter would also be a time save in this forum caus mainly most people ask question when they have conversion trouble. My main interest for this converter would be that I must interact with windows DLL from wich I have the headers file but not too much C knowledge.

I will also investigate the SWIG to java JNI generation because I do not want to put my finger into C too much.

Thanks for your answers anyway.

SeB.

Someone with a good grasp of SWIG could probably rig their parser to output JNA interfaces without too much trouble. There are other parser/generators available, but SWIG is the only one I've looked at in depth.

It's just that for me, the cost of learning the SWIG parser/generator far outweighs the cost of doing a few function mappings at a time.

It might be worth it if you needed to map a really large code base, or one that is often being changed (like ffmpeg, for instance).
