It looks to me as if you might benefit from learning a little more Java first.
Try writing a "Hello World" program in Java, then see the difference between
what the Java program is telling the JVM to do, and what your JNI code is
(attempting) to tell the JVM to do. In particular println() is not a static
method, and as such you need an instance of PrintStream.

Yeah, I ended up getting it to work later that night. I've known Java pretty well, I just didn't know what all
functions were available from the env pointer. And I wasn't asking to be referred to the documentation. I
was specifically asking for an example. Anyway, now that I have a working version, I'll read the whole
documentation and then move on to possibly Jace.

You came here for help. You don't really get to predetermine the form of that help.

If you had all the answers you wouldn't need to ask for assistance. Since you already
know you need more information, and Chris's answer was, after all, based entirely on
what you said, I recommend you open your mind to whatever form the advice takes.

Oh, and reading documentation is sometimes seen as a first, or at least early step.
