Reverse - Engineering .dll's

843829Aug 16 2001 — edited Dec 15 2007

Is it possible to reverse - engineer a dll to find its methods that are acceptable to call? I don't think this is possible, but i am just asking. Also, if this is not possible how does the jvm make calls to the local OS? Did Sun produce their own .dlls for each OS so they could access native code? (Swing, AWT, and threads would be examples of making OS native calls.)

Thanks for your time,

Nate
