Q about libjava, JNI, and CNI

Tue Jun 29 03:26:00 GMT 2004

Perusing the library code, I noticed that a lot of it is now
implemented in JNI as opposed to CNI. Is there a set policy of no
longer using CNI to implement native portions of the runtime?
I know that Classpath can't in general use CNI since other VM's don't
have support, but isn't CNI supposed to be more efficient? Would it
make sense to keep these portions separate? Or am I hashing an old
discussion long resolved?
Just wondering,
