Hi,
I'm trying out a sample JNI program but am unable to get the javah
tool to work. I have 1 source file, HelloWorld.java in C:\Work
\JNIHelloWorld. These are the contents of this file:

//File: Hello.java
class Hello {
  public native void sayHello();
  static {
    System.loadLibrary("hello");
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Hello h = new Hello();
    h.sayHello ();
  }
}

This is how I'm invoking javah.exe:

C:\Work\JNIHelloWorld>javah -classpath .;C:\Work\JNIHelloWorld -
verbose HelloWorld
error: cannot access HelloWorld
class file for HelloWorld not found
javadoc: error - Class HelloWorld not found.

Error: No classes were specified on the command line. Try -help.

I've also tried the call without the '.' preceding the classpath but
it results in the same error, and its always javadoc that throws the
error, not javah. What am I doing wrong?

If you have a file Hello.java with a class Hello, then you
first compile it to Hello.class with:

javac Hello.java

and then you generate Hello.h with:

javah -classpath . Hello

(it seems as if you have some confusion about Hello versus
HelloWorld and I am not sure whether you have compiled
first)
