Reflection and Private Native Methods <p>I am using reflection to dynamically call some methods from extended class. Unfortunately one of these methods is declared as private native and as soon as I make the call... I receive the following exception:</p> <pre><code>java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class com.something.somewhere.MyThing ca n not access a member of class com.something.somewhere.AnotherThing with modifier s "private native" </code></pre> <p>Is there a way around this?</p>
