Example of a shadingproof JNI binding.

NativeBinding.java

package com.shadeproof;

import net.bytebuddy.ByteBuddy;

public abstract class NativeBinding {

    public static final NativeBinding INSTANCE;

    static {
        System.load("mylibrary");
        String expected = "!com!shadeproof!NativeBinding!";
        expected = expected.substring(1, expected.length() - 1).replace('!', '.');
        if (NativeBinding.class.getName().equals(expected)) {
            INSTANCE = new DirectNativeBinding();
        } else {
            try {
                INSTANCE = new ByteBuddy()
                        .redefine(DirectNativeBinding.class)
                        .name(expected)
                        .make()
                        .load(NativeBinding.class.getClassLoader(), ClassLoadingStrategy.Default.INJECTION)
                        .getLoaded()
                        .getConstructor()
                        .newInstance();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                throw new IllegalStateException(e);
            }
        }
    }

    public abstract void method();

    private static class DirectNativeBinding extends NativeBinding {

        public native void method();
    }
}

Indeed, have not considered that case. Thanks for the hint, I'll keep it in the back in my head if I run into that.
