I'd prefer something like
System.loadLibrary(VMNativeLibraries.IO);
to what we have now,
System.loadLibrary("javaio");
I suggest to move the System.loadLibrary("javaio") calls completely into
the VMInterface classes. We want to have a system where (at least for
lang, net, io and util) we have the "native" calls in the VMInterface
classes. We then provide a reference implementation that implements this
with JNI using our own libraries.
I don't think that is a good idea. IMO the VMInterface should define the interface to a particular VM, not the entire native interface for all classes. Things like java.net and java.io will typically have the same native interface across different VMs.
