Calendar Grey March 7, 2024
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora 40 patches JNA to address type misinterpretation in V8, remedying critical vulnerabilities in Java's interaction with native libraries.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

JNA provides Java programs easy access to native shared libraries

(DLLs on Windows) without writing anything but Java code. JNA's

design aims to provide native access in a natural way with a

minimum of effort. No boilerplate or generated code is required.

While some attention is paid to performance, correctness and ease

of use take priority.
