Project Panama is focused on enhancing the connections between the JVM and non-Java APIs.

The project includes the following selected components:

• Native function calls
• Native data access from the JVM
• Native data access inside the JVM heap
• New data layouts in the JVM heap
• API extraction tools for header files

The project team has generated a repository tree that matches JDK 9's structure. This significantly increases the likelihood of the project's success.
