Hi colleague-developers,

Java can be slow, especially for graphics.
That's why the jdk1.3 contains a Java AWT Native Interface.
You could create a C++ dll containing the native drawing functionality and
draw on the HDC exported by the Java AWT.

I have created a small test application with exactly this functionality.
But... it doesn't work...
Who has some experience with this?

My problems:
* When I try to link my C++Builder 4 dll, I receive a problem with the
jawt.lib: it seems that it isn't COFF nor OMF...  What library should I
include to get the definition for JAWT_GetAWT?
* In the dll, most of my documentation indicates that I can use the
low-level windows drawing functionality. Can I also embed a standard VCL
form in my dll who takes the exported HWND as a parent and then draw
everything using the standard VCL?

Thanks for any information you could give me...
