A Dynamic-Link Library (DLL) is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept.

DLLs are implemented and compiled using Microsoft technology and you are developing using Java technology. So, you need a way to bridge the two so that your Java application can interact with the DLL.

I have never done this myself but have always been curious about how to do it because people keep asking me about this.

I did a bit of research on the topic and I found you need to use something called JNI (Java Native Interface) to make that bridge between the two technologies.

Here is a link to the documentation for JNI Functions.

Let me know if you get this to work,
