C files and their Mapping(s) (original) (raw)

Hello.

Thanks for taking time. We had a quick question about the Java to C mappings in the JDK. For instance the System.java has a corresponding System.c and even a System.o.

We find these without too much problem. However many of the "core" packages (corba, nashorn, jaxp, jaxws) do not have a corresponding C source folder.

If we were to make changes to System.java we would, for example, also make changes to System.c. It is quickly clear then that we would need a mechanism for altering the remaining java classes. Since these do not have a C file what do we then alter? How would we rewrite a method, add one, etc.?


Thank you,

Max
