java-config

Java configuration option command line tool. This does for java what similar tools for packages such as freetype (freetype-config) provide. I wrote this so that I could find what I needed quickly to build JNI libraries for all unixish platforms.

Using

Copy the java-config.jar file into your project. Run it as "java -jar java-config.jar" with the correct java executable and it will report vital statistics about your installation including cflags and ldflags for jni linking.
