Actually, there do appear to be ways to interact with "native code libraries" (Win32API dll's in the case of Windows) from within a Java app. The Java core API documentation of the System and Runtime classes allude to this in the description of the "loadLibrary" method, but don't go into any detail. Sun's book "Core Java - Volume II - Advanced Features, Eighth Edition" covers more about how to do it. In addition, there are a few Java APIs available (some free, some not) that reportedly make it much easier than doing it all from scratch. Do a search on the internet for "java win32api". I used to access the Win32API from within Visual Basic, but it's way beyond my current level of expertise in Java to comprehend well enough to explain to someone else. While it does appear that you can at least interact with the Win32API, whether or not you can accomplish the level of interaction you're looking for is another question.
