How do I use the Windows registry in Java using JNI?

This is not possible in pure Java (The Microsoft VM allows this, but who uses this VM anymore anyway?) but you can do so using JNI.

Check out the links below for some JNI libraries.

Note: 1.4 contains the package "preferences". With some cool tricks, you can access the registry without your own JNI code. Check How do I access the Windows registry through the preferences API? !
