swig: Generate a binding between C and Java.
$ swig -java ${path-to-swig_file-i}
try on your machine

The command "swig -java" is used to generate Java code from a SWIG interface file. SWIG (Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator) is a tool that connects programs written in C or C++ with scripting languages like Java.

In the provided command, "${path-to-swig_file-i}" is a placeholder indicating the file path of the SWIG interface file. It should be replaced with the actual path on your system.

When executed, the command will run SWIG and instruct it to generate Java code based on the specified SWIG interface file. The resulting Java code will typically include wrapper classes and methods that allow seamless interaction between the original C/C++ code and Java code.
