Native code - any language linkable with C
Java allows one to:
  • 1. call native methods from Java,
  • 2. call Java methods from native code.
  • This does not work (for security reasons) with applets.
LiveConnect allows one to:
  • 3. call Java methods from plug-ins,
  • 4. call native methods implemented in plug-ins from Java,
  • 5. call Java methods from JavaScript,
  • 6. call JavaScript from Java methods.
With some ingenuity, one can:
  • 7. call native methods from applets,
  • 8. call applet methods from native code.
