Description
javah has a mostly undocumented feature to generate LLNI headers instead of standard JNI headers. It is proposed to remove this feature, as it being no longer used or necessary.
The code appears in JDK 1.2, when javah was converted from C to Java. At that point, the undocumented switch was -Xllni. By 1.4, -llni was accepted as well as -Xllni, but still not documented in the -help usage message.
A Google search for LLNI mostly brings up some SunLabs papers in 1998.
