Thomas,

You didn't mention why you want to do this, i.e. why the algorithm (i.e.
C code) has to run under a JVM?

Perhaps a distributed object system, such as pyro or CORBA, would do the
job much more simply? These would allow you to call code running in
native process from code running in a JVM, and vice versa, without
requiring porting, etc.

HTH,
