Step 1: Organizing JNI vs. Java Functionality

First, decide what code belongs with native methods,

and what is better left to Java. Consider:

1) JNI means loss of visibility modifiers

(even private members can be discovered!)

2) JNI means manual garbage collection--

difficult at times

3) JNI can imply a loss of OO control, unless

native implementation is in C++, or a very

OO-oriented set of C libraries.
