Hello Lior, 

  I believe the only way you are going to be able to do this is using
the java native methods interface.  For a basic example of this, check
out the java in 21 days book, or if you go to www.javasoft.com, I'm sure
there's an example using native methods somewhere.

Hope this helps,
Clint Brewer
