Mod java application in using C++

The context

I am writing an application in Java which is moddable. The application searches a /mods directory for .jar files and uses org.reflections to find @Mod annotations on classes. It then creates a newInstance() of the class, and injects the mod's objects into the application's registries. The objects that are being injected into the application registries are primarily java.util.Supplier<T>s, where T is a complex object, such as a Tile.

That all works fine when writing the mod in Java.

• Is it theoretically possible to achieve the same 'reflection & injection' effect with C++? If I wanted to make a mod for my application in C++ (as an example), is that theoretically possible?

Some approaches I have thought of

• 1. I assume that the approach would have to be different...: org.reflections works off of ClassLoaders, so the C++ code would have to be in a format which could be loaded as such, if this were to work. It seems like inter-language conversion is often problematic (Converting Borland C++ code to Java code), so using an automated tool might be hard.
• 2. Perhaps a different approach would be to not convert have either the modder, or the application convert the C++ code to Java, but to use a take on the JNI to load the C++ code as a library? Java can call methods from .dlls using the native keyword, assuming that it knows the name of the method it will call, and the library is loaded. If C++ can be compiled into a .dll, then would that help? How to compile a cpp to a dll in visual studio 2010 express
• 3. Although I don't know a lot about it, perhaps a tool like SWIG would work for making the files cross compatible?

Would any of these three be viable solutions?

Any additional information or clarification, please ask.
