Since Java is not as of yet a true compiled language, the only way to call Java code from C
is by using the system() call (or your OS's equivalent) to execute
the Java interpreter with
appropriate command line arguments.
If you need to get output from the Java program you should probably
write it to a file and periodically check the contents of the file
until the program is done running.
