    - Q: What is @GenerateNativeHeaders? -
    - A: - To speed up compilation, we added a flag to javac which makes it - do the job of javah as well, as a by-product; that is, generating - native .h header files. These files are only generated - if a class contains native methods. However, sometimes - a class contains no native method, - but still contains constants that native code needs to use. - The new GenerateNativeHeaders annotation tells javac to - force generation of a - header file in these cases. (We don't want to generate - native headers for all classes that contains constants - but no native methods, since - that would slow down the compilation process needlessly.) -
