Objective C

Introduction

JNAerator can generate ready-to-use JARs that make any Objective-C framework available from Java.

Objective-C Classes

JNAerator gathers the methods found in class definitions and protocols. It will add all the methods defined in other frameworks, provided they are parsed.

ObjectiveC classes end up in abstract java classes. ObjectiveC protocols end up in java interfaces Examples

Create a JAR with wrappings for the AppKit and Foundation frameworks : java -Xmx1000m -jar jnaerator.jar -framework Foundation -framework AppKit -jar appkit-foundation.jar

Create a JAR with Foundation, CoreFoundation, CoreGraphics and AppKit: java -Xmx1000m -jar ../../bin/jnaerator.jar -framework Foundation -framework AppKit -framework CoreFoundation -framework CoreGraphics

Create a JAR with all of the system frameworks : java -Xmx1500m -jar jnaerator.jar for F in /System/Library/Frameworks/*.framework ; do sed -E 's/^.*\/([^/]+)\.framework$/-framework \1/' ; done -jar all-frameworks.jar
