Esteemed Jawin Gurus:

First, let me thank you for developing and maintaining
what appears to be a very impressive product.

Secondly, I am in the process of writing a java
wrapper
for three functions within a single interface that is
within a MS supplied single dll.  I am doing so with
little familiarity of JNI.  And not much schedule time
to master it.

I saw Jawin on the net, downloaded the 2.0 alpha
binary, pointed Typebrowser at the dll, and let it
rip.
The results were impressive. (Although I have not had
an opportunity to actually test them on the testbed
yet.)

I did encounter 3 artifacts though and would
appreciate
your collective insight.  I have looked through the
past year and a half of archives as well as the
sourceforge bug list and did not see anything that
appeared to resemble my questions.  And if I missed
the
answers in the documentation, please let me know where

to rtfm.

First, in one constructor the following line was
created.  It appears to be missing the type definition
(?String?)

        public static final GUID = "";

Second, functions that call and return two outside
classes were created and dispersed through the code.
Neither class was created by Typebrowser.  The classes
were "Fields" and "_Connection". Fields is defined in
ADODB.  I am still tracking down _Connection.

My questions are:

1.  Is there any reason not to add the type to the
    malformed declaration? And, is there anything that
    I should have done that would have kept the
    malformed declaration from happening?

2.  If the missing two classes and the calling
    functions are not used anywhere in the remainder
of
    the stubbed java code, nor needed by me, is there
    any reason to keep the calling functions in?


Thanks In Advance!

Chuck Katz
