OK, I share this concern (though I don't think this might happen anytime soon). Yet this is a possibility. But I totally fail to see why, in this case, JNI and native code might help us out... we would probably just give up and start working in a salt mine (or in Redmond, which is almost the same), JNI or not :) Or am I missing something?
