Description Andrew CLA 2008-10-13 06:47:33 EDT 
a suggestion:  A wizard that creates code to allow dlls from other languages (eg c, .NET) to be imported into the project despite not having been written in the same language (eg java).

What do you exactly mean by "import"? There's nothing stopping you from copy/pasting random files into your projects. If you want to call C/C++ functions, you should look at JNI. Or do you want JDT to generate the JNI for you?
Comment 2 Andrew CLA 2008-10-13 07:26:38 EDT 
Yes, it should generate the JNI.  I personally feel that it would be nice to have a streamlined transparent way of dealing with any library, regardless of the type.
Comment 3 Jerome Lanneluc CLA 2008-10-23 06:49:57 EDT 
Moving to JDT/UI
Comment 4 Dani Megert CLA 2008-10-23 08:18:21 EDT 
Andrew, can you give a concrete example/steps? Would it always generate JNI i.e. be Java?

Please reopen once more information has been added.
