JavaNative.Win32Metadata

This project contains code to build and publish the JavaNative.Win32Metadata nuget package. The package wraps the Java Native Interface library into a winmd (Windows metadata) file. If you combine it with Microsoft.Windows.CsWin32, it will allow you to generate signatures (PInvokes) to easily use .NET Host functions in your executable/library.

How to use it

Install the required Nuget packages:
- Microsoft.Windows.CsWin32
- JavaNative.Win32Metadata
Create a NativeMethods.txt file in the root folder of your project and list native functions and structures (including the one from JNI) you plan to use, for example:
```
// Windows
LoadLibrary

// Java Native Interface
JNI_TRUE

JNI_CreateJavaVM
JNI_GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs
```
Please also check the CSWin32 project README file for other configuration options of the PInvoke generators.

You are ready to use the native functions in your code 😃

using FreeLibrarySafeHandle __ = PInvoke.LoadLibrary($"{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("JAVA_HOME")}/bin/server/jvm.dll");
JavaVMInitArgs vm_args = new()
{
    version = JNI_VERSION.JNI_VERSION_24
};
_ = Java.PInvoke.JNI_GetDefaultJavaVMInitArgs(ref vm_args);
JNI_ERROR result = Java.PInvoke.JNI_CreateJavaVM(out JavaVM* jvm, out JNIEnv* env, vm_args);
