<b>Q:</b> What is @GenerateNativeHeaders?
<br>
<b>A:</b>
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.)
