| Can MINERVA access programs written in conventional programming languages?
Yes - via the Java interface, using Javas "JNI" functionality.
Please refer to the MINERVA-to-Java interface description and
the JNI documentation of your Java language processor if you
need to link existing conventional-language object programs into
MINERVA.
However, JNI access is inherently not portable across platforms.
It incurs machine-specifics, OS-specifics, and Java-implementation
dependencies and severely restricts client side deployability.
Therefore MINERVA does not provide direct access to JNI.
