    Smile call win32 api from java

    how can i call win32 API from java using JNI?
    i don't want to use other commercial packages to download and install.
    it should be done only by jvm and i have vc++ installed.
    plz submit any code and steps required to do so?
    i tried this but does not work and gives runtime error :
    public class NewMain
    {
            static{System.load("C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\kernel32.dll");}
            native private static short GetSystemDefaultLangID();
     
            public static void main(String ss[])
            {
                System.out.print(GetSystemDefaultLangID());
            }
     
    }

    Please use highlight tags. If you're unsure how to get started with JNI, I would suggest looking at Chapter 5 Continued: JNI Example and Enhance your Java application with Java Native Interface (JNI) - JavaWorld

    I recomend using JNA, Website Here

    It's much more simplistic,

    Then use this sample code:
    import com.sun.jna.Native;
    import com.sun.jna.win32.StdCallLibrary;
     
    public interface Kernel32 extends StdCallLibrary {
     
        Kernel32 INSTANCE = (Kernel32) Native.loadLibrary("kernel32", Kernel32.class);
     
        short GetSystemDefaultLangID();
     
    }

    Accessing it as:
    Kernel32.INSTANCE.GetSystemDefaultLangID()

    If you have any questions Id be happy to explain
