Answer 1

There are "bridges" that allow Java and non-Java code to call into one another. Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, these might be useful as you could write your Java code and then call into it from a C++ or C# DLL, depending on which language you are creating your DLL with, which will also determine what kind of bridge you need. I have never seen a freely provided bridge though. All the ones I've found when looking had to be purchased.
