  15 # Supporting services for the FFI with Java and to access Java libraries
  16 #
  17 # This modules relies on `Sys::jvm`, `Sys::jni_env` and
  18 # `Sys::create_default_jvm` to get a handle on a JVM. You can adapt the
  19 # behavior of the FFI and services in this module by redefing
  20 # `Sys::create_default_jvm` and supply your own JVM object. You can manage
  21 # multiple java thread by switching the current environment in a redef
  22 # of `Sys::jni_env`, and multiple JVM using `Sys::jvm`.
  23 #
  24 # See also, the module `jvm` to control the JVM instances and access JNI functions.
  25 # You can use it to further customize the behavior of your code.
